# Judges' Association of Serbia

A professional association of judges that, after the acquittal in the Slavko Ćuruvija murder case, defended the judges of the Court of Appeal, stating that a court rules on the evidence the prosecution presents. It warned that attacks on judges could lead to people “taking justice into their own hands”, drawing a response from Uglješa Mrdić, chair of the parliament's Judiciary Committee, and that in 2025 the High Judicial Council selected only 25 judges for 416 advertised posts.
