Presenting the Report, High Judicial Council Vice-President Miroljub Tomic said that in 2015 the High Judicial Council operated in an incomplete composition, with nine instead of 11 members. The Lawyers Chamber has not nominated a member to represent it in the High Judicial Council to date, and the trial against one member, removed from the High Judicial Council, is still in progress. In the meantime, the electoral commission of the High Judicial Council adopted a decision on five electoral members so after the election in the National Assembly the High Judicial Council now has 10 members, said Tomic. He stated that, in line with the Law amending and modifying the Law on the High Judicial Council, the sessions of the High Judicial Council are public and the Council had transparently published all of its decisions. Speaking of the implementation of regulations, Tomic said that several rulebooks have been amended, from the rulebook on the assessment of the work of judges and court presidents to the rulebook on disciplinary accountability, concerning the election of judges and boosting their disciplinary accountability. In 2015 the High Judicial Council had 28 regular and seven telephone sessions, elected 128 judges, dismissed one court president, and in the period 2013-2015 318 judges left judicial office, while the High Judicial Council ruled in 13 cases in the second degree.
