EMERGENCY MEASURES ACCORDING TO THE ACT ON PREVENTION OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Summary/Abstract: The authors in this paper address the issue of imposing and extending emergency measures according to the Act on Prevention of Domestic Violence. Domestic violence represents a problem of the entire society. Throughout history, all events related to the family, and thus violence within it, are treated as exclusively private matters of its members which should not be interfered with. In the Republic of Serbia, in 2016, the Act on Prevention of Domestic Violence was adopted, incorporating the most important international standards in this area, including zero tolerance for domestic violence and cooperation and coordination of state bodies in combating it. The authors seek to explain the position of judges in the procedure for protection from domestic violence, emphasizing the powers for extending emergency measures initially imposed by the competent police officer, particularly considering the criteria that the court follows when extending these measures. Then, the authors discuss the importance of coordinated action by state bodies, relying on the practice of the European Court of Human Rights.
