WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED IN SERBIAN LEGAL REGIME OF ELECTORAL RIGHTS PROTECTION?
Abstract
This paper gives deep and thorough analysis of the Serbian system for protection of electoral rights, both parliamentary and municipal, and its shortcomings. After analysing legal position, powers and comepetences, duties and responsibilities of electoral commissions (Republic and municipal ones), Administrative Court and the Constitutional Court, author comes to a conclusion that legal protection of electoral rights can be improved by increasing transparency, clarifying the nature of "silence" of the electoral administration actions, as well as with providing the electoral administration with power to protect electoral rights ex officio, expanding the scope of the Administrative Court’s decisions in the dispute of full jurisdiction and by specifying the role of the Constitutional Court along with continuing re-education of all participants in the electoral process.
