RESULTS OF MONITORING IN SPECIFIC CASE TYPES
In certain cases (for example, when the parties were Hungarian and spoke only Hungarian) an interpreter
was present. The monitors, referring to the words of the defense lawyers, informed that many cases are not
being considered because there is a need for interpreters, which have the necessary knowledge of legal
terminology.
BIAS AND DISCRIMINATION
The monitors also reported certain issues regarding consideration of cases with participation of Roma. These
people often have no documents and permanent place of residence. It is almost impossible to serve subpoenas
to them. Free legal aid for them is not of high quality. The courts are unable to provide interpreters to such
persons.
For a better study of these problems it is recommended to conduct a focused monitoring of cases with
participation of national minorities.
