European Court of Human Rights

It found that Serbia violated the property rights of a company in Hercegovačka Street when, in 2015, its fence was torn down and its land seized for „Belgrade Waterfront“, and that the detention of two men charged with Ćuruvija's murder lasted unjustifiably long. After 15 March 2025, it ordered the government to prevent any use of sound devices for crowd control, without taking a position on whether they had been used. An application over the pardons of the attackers on students in Novi Sad is also before it.
