Loš predlog zakona o restituciji
Bad Restitution of Property Draft Ac

Summary/Abstract: The law on restitution is just one of the unfulfilled promises of the parties of civic orientation. After October 2000 all the governments avoided its mentioning and hence were postponing this complex problem. The author analyses the reasons for delaying denationalization in Serbia and identifies strong pressure groups interested in maintaining status quo, expenses and complexity of the process and the strength of anti-liberal ideologies of nationalism and socialism as core reasons. The author analyses this lingering pace through the criticism of the Draft Law on denationalization, pointing out its basic weaknesses. He emphasizes that in the current form, the draft is neither meeting the requirements of the prior owners, nor the tax payers, and it does not contribute to the strengthening of notion of the sanctity of property.
