摘要：

According to Serbia's accession action plan for chapter 23, Serbia intends to strengthen procedural safeguards in line with European Union (EU) standards to ensure the rights, support, and protection of victims of crime and injured parties in accordance with Directive 2012-29-EU. The current analysis will support that process by assessing how Serbia aligns in practice with the EU Directive. The ultimate objective of the project is to assist the Serbian Government, as part of its accession process, to develop a national system of victim support services which complies with EU Directive 2012-29 EU. This report will therefore map and assess which institutions in Serbia are providing victim support services and their levels of quality and access. Also, it will document any existing guidelines and provision in police and prosecution offices and courts, as well as other services and non-government organizations (NGOs). The analysis was requested by Serbian authorities to support the implementation of the chapter 23 accession action plan and to ensure that victims have equitable access to justice services and that victims' rights are upheld through the justice process. Since then the European continent has set the scene for the continuous development of a legal framework for the protection of victims of crime, through the adoption of policy decisions and legal instruments.
