Judiciary
The judicial system of Serbia is headed by the Supreme Court. The court reviews and possibly rules on past court cases made at the lower court levels. In addition, there are many different court tiers: the Basic, High, and Appellate Court and as previously mentioned, the Supreme Court.
Parties and elections
Serbia uses the multi-party system, with numerous political parties in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, this results in the formation of coalition governments. Elections are held on the parliamentary, provincial and local level, and are scheduled every four years, while presidential elections are scheduled every five years.
International Organizations
UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, BSEC, NATO Partnership for Peace, CEFTA, ICC, IMF, World Bank, Southeast European Cooperation Process, Stability Pact for Southeastern Europe, Southeast European Cooperative Initiative, Central European Initiative.
Serbia was granted candidate status for membership in the European Union (EU) and it submitted its application 4 years earlier. Serbia made progress in meeting the criteria established by the European in recent years. For example, Serbia provided majority municipalities in Kosovo with broad powers in education, healthcare and spatial planning.[9]
It is also a candidate for the World Trade Organization[10] (WTO) and was[11] expected to join by 2013.
Status of Kosovo
Kosovo, on the other hand, has been deemed a United Nations protectorate since 1999. On 17 February 2008 ethnic Albanians in the region declared Kosovo's independence and sought the recognition of foreign nations. The Serbian government did not recognize this attempted demand for independence and saw and is null under the UN Charter and the Serbian constitution. Although the Serbian government has stated it shall not acknowledge Kosovo's independence, it has stated that Serbia wants a "normal life for all the people in Kosovo".[12]
