Edukacija pravosuđa u svjetlu evropskih integracija Bosne i Hercegovine
Education of judicial staff in the light of European integration of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: Judicial profession in the contemporary world is facing unprecedented challenges: its growing importance in the society; integration of the international law into domestic legal systems; development of new forms of crimes and different issues related to the intense global flow of people and finances. Additionally, a multi-level legal order of the EU is creating a unique task for the judges in the member-states and in states aspiring tobecome members. Consequently, the need for systematic and intense education of judges was recognized as a necessity, even formally in the Treaty of Lisbon. Given that this subject is insufficiently researched and due to limited academic sources, this paper is mostly based on research of primary resources. This article provides a short overview of the development of general principles of judicial education under the auspices of the UN and CoE documents. Secondly, focus is shifted onto the EU standards, established through the formal documents and functioning of the EU institutions and bodies. The situation in said field in Bosnia and Herzegovina is explained, with an emphasis on pre-accession demands and challenges. Finally, the paper encompasses proposals for and concrete and feasible steps that can be taken in the direction of reaching the described EU standards, which is actually the main aim of this paper.
