The oath-taking was attended by Minister of Justice Nikola Selakovic.

Gojkovic wished the judges success in the performance of their duty saying that she believes that they would pursue it independently and without bias in line with the law and Constitution, following their conscience, and ensure a just trial for everyone, thus contributing to the reputation of the judicial office in the Republic of Serbia.

The National Assembly Speaker said she believed that, in the course of their three-year term of office in basic and special courts, as newly-elected bearers of judicial office, they would greatly contribute to the continued reform of the judicial system, aimed at creating an independent, modern and efficient judiciary and promoting the rule of law.

The judges, 20 of them, were elected to judicial office for the first time at the National Assembly sittings held on 10 March, 8 April and 17 April 2015.

As stipulated by Article 53, paragraph 1, of the Law on Judges, before assuming office, judges must take the oath of office before the National Assembly Speaker.
