Background of the Yugoslav Legal System
The federal Republic of Yugoslavia consists of two federal units: the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Montenegro. This federal state, proclaimed by the Constitution on 27 April 1992, is based on the pluralistic, parliamentary democracy, committed to the rule of law, free market economy, freedom of public activities, social justice, human rights, equality and welfare of all citizens.
This kind of federation is unusual in comparative systems, which causes many problems in the activity of federation. Nevertheless, our government is trying to solve all the problems, on a mutual base of cooperation.
Since the establishment of the Constitution (from 1992), there have been a lot of changes in the area of the legislation (constitutional, political, economic legislation), as well as in the area of the real relations of the political forces in the government’s institutions.
The Constitution of The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is inspired by well known European constitutions, such as the constitutions of France and Germany, and it contains both elements of the federation and confederation structure (at the moment, the parliament is working on the draft of a new constitution). The Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Montenegro are sovereign, and decide on matters that are not under the jurisdiction of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Both republics have their own constitutions according to which they independently establish their own organization of the authority. However, there are a few principles in the Federal Constitution on which the organization of the authority is based both in the federal state and in its federal units: the division of authority, representative government, democracy, and local communities.
In general, the authority system in the federal state, and in its federal units, is the Parliament.
The authority system in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is divided into:
- The Legislative authority
- The Executive authority
- The Court authority
According to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Federal Parliament, which represents the legislative authority, consists of the Council of Citizens and the Council of Republics. It is elected by citizens, and by the system of proportional elections. This model of elections has been taken because of the political pluralism (after 1989), which made it possible for all political organizations to participate equally in the work of the Parliament. Both federal units are equally represented. A decision can be made if both councils elect the same decision during their sessions. The Federal Parliament has the election function: it elects and changes the President of the Federal Government, judges of the Federal Constitutional Court and of the Constitutional Court, and the President of the National Bank of Yugoslavia. Yugoslav legislation, especially political legislation, since the establishment of the late Constitution, is in the process of developing its basic institutions, according to responsive examples such as France, Germany, and Austria. The political legislation, above all issues of human rights and freedom (for example, freedom of press, or autonomy of the university) were the major reasons for the popular dissatisfaction which resulted in political changes at the end of the 2000.
The Yugoslav legal system has its origins in European continental law, so it applies the traditional sources of civil law system that include:
- Constitution
- Laws and
- Other legal documents (you can find this information in publications which appear in the list of legal literature at the end of the article). You can also see the other parts of the article (publishers, periodicals) and visit these Web sites:

According to Yugoslav sources of law, the Anglo-Saxon system of Case Law is not competitive, although the universities from this scientific discipline explore the theory and the practice of the Case Law (in the frame of the legal, political and economic sciences).
The symbols of the executive authority are the President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the Federal Government. The Federal Parliament elects the Federal Government. According to the Constitution, the government is liable, as a representative of the Federal Parliament. The Federal Government establishes and carries out a foreign policy, maintains a relationship of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with other countries and international organizations, common acts of Federal Parliament. The Federal Government is made up of a prime minister, deputy prime minister, and federal ministers. It is formed for a four-year term.

E-mail: [email protected]The Court System is based on the principle of division of the authority and independence of the legal authority. Independence of judiciary comes from the principles of legality and constitutionality. The court system of Yugoslavia is unique.
There are two types of courts:
Courts of general jurisdiction (township courts, district and the supreme courts of the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Montenegro) and
Courts of specialized jurisdiction (military and economic courts).
According to Court Law of the Republic of Serbia (from 1991), there are the following courts of general jurisdiction in this republic:
- The municipal courts,
- The district courts and
- The Republic Supreme Court.
According to Court Law of the Republic of Montenegro (from 1995), there are the following courts of general jurisdiction in this republic:
- The Magistrate Courts,
- The Higher Courts and
- The Supreme Court of the Republic.
There is also the Federal Court, which performs its legal authority according to the constitution. This court decides on the last level, on the appeals against verdict of the supreme courts and the Republic Military Court, in cases where sentences of imprisonment for fifteen years, or the harder sentences, were pronounced by the Criminal Law Act. The Constitutional Court has jurisdiction too.
The Federal State Prosecutor’s Office is an independent governmental agency, which pursues perpetrators of crimes and other acts punished by law. It protects constitutionality and legality. The function of Prosecutor’s Office performs Republic Public Prosecutor, District Public Attorney and Township Public Attorney.
Taking into consideration the new constitutional resolutions, in the constitutions of The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and its republics, as well as in the court laws, we can conclude that the court organization is based on the following principles:
- The principle of being elected and the solvability of the judges
- The principle of the gathering in the administration of justice
- The principle of the participation of the citizens in the legal proceedings
- The principle of delivering sentences on all resorts of the court system and
- The principle of the autonomy and independence of the courts
The following citation (from the textbook “The Criminal Procedure” – by professors Cedomir Stojanovic and Vojislav Djurdjic) explains the last principle:
“According to constitutional and legal regulations, we can conclude that the courts are autonomous and independent organs of the state, which are in court power and decide on the criminal, civil and administrative matters. The function of a judge is elective and permanent…the confirmation of the autonomy and independence of the courts is also the legal regulation. According to that, the judge can not be the minister and the member of committee, he can not perform the political and legal functions, or any other function, job, or duty, which could affect his autonomy and independence, or which could jeopardize his reputation or reputation of the court (the article 6. of the Law of the Republic of Serbia).”
A Special Appendix on Yugoslav Human Rights
- The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia passed into law and incorporated into its legal system the entire body of internationally recognized human rights laws and regulations.
- The international treaties on human rights, signed and ratified by The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, represent an integral part of its internal laws.
- The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is a multi-ethnic, multilingual and multi-religion country. One third of the population of The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia consists of national minorities.
- One third of the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia are devoted to human rights.
- A special part of the Second Chapter of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia regulates the rights of the national minorities.
- The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia guarantees the protection of human rights by the courts of justice.
Legal Education in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
The legal education in Yugoslavia is based on a curriculum of high-quality, which is organized to develop legal ways of thinking and legal culture. Through the legal profession, lawyers have direct and indirect influence on creating the law.
To become a lawyer, a student must graduate from the faculty of law. Studies last for four years (eight semesters). To become a student of the faculty of law, a candidate must pass the admission test. Students are divided into full-time students and part-time students. There are students from foreign countries in Yugoslavia, too. The practical training for students is organized in courts.
To become an advocate, or a judge, a lawyer must pass a qualifying examination for judges/advocates. Today, it is necessary for judges to have additional education, according to the regulations of European Union and Council of Europe.
Law Faculties and Law Libraries in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
There are six faculties of law in Yugoslavia.
In the Federal Republic of Serbia, there are five faculties of law:
- The Faculty of Law in Belgrade,

The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is passing through a difficult period, but it is, after the October 2000 elections, in the process of democratic transition of its political, economic and social systems. The main objective of the Yugoslav transition is, first of all, to approach the standards of the European continental law and to accept the norms of the European Union, which Yugoslavia intends to join.
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has a long tradition in publishing and printing. Taking into consideration that The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is passing through a democratic transition, we can conclude that publishing in our country is pretty alive now. There are many successful private publishers today. We can say all that for legal publishing in general.
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has a small market for legal materials, but, nevertheless, competition has always been quite strong in this country. There are many important large and small publishers (some of the large publishers are official publishers of legal literature, too). All faculties of law are publishers of legal literature.
