Enforcement of pre-trial detention In the reporting period, the NPM conducted 5 visits to pre-trial detention units in the DP Kraljevo, DP Leskovac, DP Novi Sad and it 2 visits to DP Belgrade. In that regards, the total of 36 recommendations for elimination of found deficiencies were issued. The total of 25 recommendations were complied with, 2 were not complied with at all, whereas the compliance with 9 recommendations still needs to be monitored. Acting in line with the NPM recommendations, in the renovated pre-trial detention blocks of the DP Belgrade its biggest sleeping rooms were rearranged and equipped with all necessary equipment, thereby enabling to all detainees to spend a part of a day in the common daily rooms. The space for common daily room dedicated to detainees in all accommodating blocks and their equipping with necessary equipment shall be realized in the course of the current reconstruction of the institutions. Likewise, under the plan for construction of a new building in the DP Leskovac in 2016, common rooms for daily stay of detainees are also planned. However, in the most of the institutions, detainees are not allowed to spend their time outside their cells, in the common rooms with the other inmates with whom they are not prohibited to have contact under the court decision, which is in contravention with the applicable standards and NPM recommendations. In line with the NPM recommendations, DP Belgrade improved its health-care in a way that the first check-ups when admitting new detainees to the institution are, as a rule, done with no presence of non-medical staff. Exceptionally, in line with the request of a competent doctor and by recording the facts justifying the reasons for a decision of that kind, medical check-ups are done in the presence of non-medical staff. In the course of the first medical check-up, check-up of the whole body is done for a possible establishment of injuries and descriptions of them, as well as for the purpose of doctors’ conclusion on the correlation of circumstances under which these injures were inflicted. Further on, work of the health-care service is organized during weekends, when a medical technician is present in both shifts, and in the afternoon the on-call doctor’s shifts were introduced.
