5 September 2001 – The Belgrade Center for Human Rights objects to the refusal by the Justice Committee of the Republic of Serbia’s National Assembly to cancel the decision which unconstitutionally and illegally dismissed Dr Slobodan Vučetić from the bench of the Constitutional Court of Serbia. As a distinguished lawyer and judge, Dr Vučetić has been selected as a member of the Council of the Belgrade Center for Human Rights.There are no excuses that can justify the Committee members’ position. The decision of the previous Assembly meeting is undeniably invalid, however its invalidity must be officially recognized. The Center expects that the National Assembly will correct the injustice committed against Dr Vučetić and rectify one of the consequences of its previous unlawful behavior.
