Constitutional complaints — lawyer in Belgrade
When the ordinary courts have had the last word and you believe your constitutional rights have been violated, the constitutional complaint remains. We prepare constitutional complaints for violations of the right to a fair trial and to a trial within a reasonable time, the right to property, liberty and other guaranteed rights.
We carefully assess whether the conditions and deadlines are met, because the constitutional complaint is a formally demanding legal remedy.
When to contact us
- The proceedings are taking unreasonably long
- You believe your right to a fair trial has been violated
- All legal remedies in the ordinary proceedings have been exhausted
- Your right to property or liberty has been violated
- You wish to explore the route to the European Court of Human Rights
How we work
Before we recommend a constitutional complaint, we review the entire case file and the case law of the Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights. If the chances are not realistic, we tell you openly.
Frequently asked questions
What is the deadline for a constitutional complaint?
30 days from the delivery of the individual act, or from the action by which the right was violated.
Can I receive compensation for lengthy proceedings?
The Act on the Protection of the Right to a Trial within a Reasonable Time provides for an objection, an appeal and a claim for just satisfaction, which may include monetary compensation.
Is a constitutional complaint required before Strasbourg?
As a rule, yes: the European Court of Human Rights requires domestic remedies to be exhausted first.
