Summary/Abstract: Every modern democratic state must strike a balance between the full independence of judges and the responsibility of judges for mistakes in their work during trials. Also, a clear limit must be set for further influences on the prosecution. The judiciary must be independent, and additional constitutional guarantees are needed for that. If the amendments to the Serbian Constitution in the part related to the judiciary introduce opportunities for political influence on judges and prosecutors, it will be a big step backwards. An independent and efficient judiciary is, above all, in the interest of the citizens of Serbia, but at the same time it is also a condition for membership in the European Union.
