Summary/Abstract: The Draft Law on Internal Affairs prepared by the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Serbia does not satisfy procedural requirements, ignores key problems identified in practice and, in some instances, even diminishes achieved standards. Moreover, the Draft Law fails to achieve envisaged objectives for the reform step 9.3.1.2. in Serbia’s Reform Agenda, i.e. to effectively address the issue of police autonomy from the Ministry of Interior during pre-investigation and investigation phases and recommendations from the Committee for Prevention of Torture.
