Summary/Abstract: Observing the history of the development of juvenile delinquency, it is evident that it occurs in all countries regardless of social arrangements. The difference, however, exists in a number of factors that determine the fight against juvenile delinquency, one of the more significant of which is the influence of individual subjects of juvenile justice on the selection, duration and process of execution of a reaction, measure or sanction against a juvenile perpetrator of a criminal act. The court as a special authority has a very important role in the application and execution of criminal sanctions, especially criminal sanctions of institutional treatment. With its decisions, it changes the "fate" and the course of execution of the imposed sanctions, and thus the juvenile itself. In this paper, the authors deal with the role of the court in the execution of sanctions for institutional treatment, especially referring to the meritorious role of the court in the execution of a criminal sanction - referral to an educational center. The implementation of this educational measure, the rights and duties of subjects in that process, and the role of juvenile judges in the individualization of educational measures for minors, judicial individualization, will be shown through concrete examples, while analyzing a case study from the practice of the KJU "Educational Center of Sarajevo Canton". It should be emphasized that in the case of judicial individualization, the purpose of sanctioning is the resocialization of minors, which implies a multidisciplinary approach and the adequate application of legal, pedagogical, psychological and social approaches in working with juvenile offenders.
