VP takes part in practical enforcement workshop in Sokobanja

On 30 September and 1 October 2022, the spa town of Sokobanja vas the venue of a workshop on practical aspects of enforcement, organised by the local Niš chapter of the national Chamber of Enforcement Officers. The event was attended by distinguished law professors, judges, prosecutors, civil servants, enforcement officers, economists, information technology professionals, and lawyers, who were all able to discuss the practical features of enforcement proceedings from a variety of perspectives.

Vuković and Partners once again took part in this annual event, where it was represented by Predrag Miladinović and Dušan Panić.

Predrag Miladinović delivered a highly useful presentation devoted to practical problems with enforcing on real estate in proceedings based on lien statements. Mr Miladinović focused on the issues caused by strict adherence to the principle of formal legality and by inconsistent case law. For his part, Dušan Panić spoke about the code of professional ethics for the legal profession, where he particularly emphasised the need for communication and co-operation between enforcement officers and lawyers, who ought to exchange information, align practices, and confront opposing views to make enforcement proceedings more efficient. Vuković and Partners appreciate the invitation extended by the Chamber of Enforcement Officers and the Council of its Niš chapter. These events have proven highly beneficial for all enforcement stakeholders as they have allowed them to comprehensively review issues that are often insufficiently elaborated in legislation. The opportunity has also helped all those involved in enforcement proceedings to improve their performance and align their practices.
