The Firm has achieved a significant success in the protection of individual rights and the rule of law by obtaining an interim order from the court, effectively suspending the execution of a controversial decision by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry’s decision ordered the expulsion of a Croatian national from the territory of the Republic of Serbia and imposed a prohibition on their re-entry and continued stay – without providing any legal or factual justification.
Acting promptly to defend the client’s fundamental rights, the firm filed an appeal against the Ministry’s decision and, simultaneously, submitted a request to the Administrative Court seeking the postponement of its execution. The request emphasized the lack of reasoning in the expulsion decision, its manifest illegality and the grave and irreparable harm its enforcement would cause. The Court granted the request and issued a decision that postpones the enforcement of the expulsion order pending decision on the appeal.
