Pursuant to Article 8, paragraph 1 of the Law on National Assembly (“Official Gazette”,

(“Official Gazette of RS”, No. 20/12 - consolidated text),
On the Fourth Sitting of the Second Regular Session in 2014 held on 23 October 2014,

CONCLUSION
BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE REPORT ON ACTIVITIIES OF
THE NATIONAL PREVENTIVE MECHANISM
FOR 2013
1. The National Assembly finds that in his report on the activities of the National
Preventive Mechanism for 2013, the Protector of Citizens comprehensively presented activities
of the Protector of Citizens in capacity of the National Preventive Mechanism in the field of
protection and improvement of human and minority freedoms and rights.
2. With regard to the findings of the Protector of Citizens that as a rule detainees do not

with other detainees in cases where no court-ordered contact restrictions apply; that in most
cases they do not have an opportunity to do productive work, nor are they included in social
and cultural activities; that detainees are not grouped together according to the type of criminal
offence of which they are indicted, the National Assembly orders the Administration for the
Enforcement of Penal Sanctions of the Ministry of Justice to improve treatment of detainees, i.e.
to allow them to exercise all their rights in accordance with the applicable regulations and
standards.

are mostly and commonly isolated for long periods because their number in detention units

competent authorities to exercise increased caution with the aim of reducing isolation of female
detainees for a long periods during detention.
4. With regard to the findings of the Protector of Citizens that many convicts in closed

orders the Administration for the Enforcement of Penal Sanctions of the Ministry of Justice to
enable all convicts, except to those in solitary confinement or isolation, to spend free time
during the day in communal rooms with other convicts.
5. With regard to the assessment of the Protector of Citizens that there are significant
shortcomings in active, individual and collective correctional work of correctional officers with
