Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković Says There Will Be Third Public Call For Supreme Court Head

As for today’s press release of the government in which it warns that President Zoran Milanović’s favourite for the chief justice, Zlata Đurđević, was not in favour of the model that exists in most EU countries, where judges are appointed by the executive authorities, but rather juxtaposes the election of judges by an independent body with the model in which judges are elected in the parliament, Jandroković said that the government had offered a well-argued discussion.

The government’s press release indicates that the programme of Milanović’s candidate shows that she is in favour of reinstatating political influence in the process of the election of judges, said Jandroković.

Asked by the press whether he had read Đurđević’s programme, Jandroković said that he had read the segments important for politics, and that “it is more that evident that she is in favour of the political election of judges.”

Jandroković recalled that it was not correct to claim that the problems in the judiciary had started in the 1990s, adding that the problem had deeper roots dating back to the period of the former Yugoslavia and the Communist system.

It is not easy to elevate the judiciary to a level at which it is absolutely unbiased and all judges behave professionally, however, efforts have been made for years in this regard, he added.

Jandroković said that when it came to President Milanović and his invective, he had endured them calmly for months.

All that time I have endured defamation, Jandroković said, adding that the tit for tat response ensued after “the bully” (Milanović) kept insulting him.

On Wednesday, Jandroković called Milanović  “a clown with an inferiority complex.”
