JURISDICTION OF COURTS
2. Territorial Jurisdiction
Location where the Crime was Committed
Article 23
As a rule, the court within whose territory the criminal offence was committed or attempted has territorial jurisdiction.
Private prosecution may be instituted with a court within whose territory the defendant has permanent or temporary residence.
Where a criminal offence was committed or attempted within the territories of several courts or at the boundary between their territories, or where it is not certain in which territory it was committed or attempted, the court in whose territory criminal proceedings were first instituted has jurisdiction.
Defendant’s Temporary or Permanent Residence
Article 24
If the place where the crime was committed is not known, or if this place lies outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia, the court within whose territory the defendant has temporary or permanent residence has jurisdiction.
Where proceedings have been instituted in accordance with paragraph 1 of this Article, the court which has initiated proceedings will retain jurisdiction even if the place where the crime was committed becomes known.
Defendant’s Place of Birth, Arrest or Surrender
Article 25
If the place where the crime was committed or the temporary or permanent residence of the defendant are not known, or both lie outside the territory of the Republic of Serbia, the court whose territorial jurisdiction includes the place of birth of the defendant, or the place where he is arrested, or where he surrenders himself, has jurisdiction.
Criminal Offences Committed on Domestic Vessels or Aircraft
Article 26
If a criminal offence is committed on a domestic vessel or a domestic aircraft while at a domestic port or airport, the court within whose territory the port or airport is located has jurisdiction, and in other cases the court which has jurisdiction will be the one within whose territory the home port of the vessel or airport of the aircraft is located, or within whose territory the domestic port or airport where the vessel or aircraft makes its first stop is located.
Criminal Offences Committed through Media
Article 27
If a criminal offence was committed through the media, the court on whose territory lies the seat of the media has jurisdiction, and where the location of its seat is not known or if it is abroad, the court within whose territory the information was published has jurisdiction.
Where the author of the information is accountable under the law, the court where the author has temporary or permanent residence has jurisdiction, or the court of the location where the event to which the information relates took place.
The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article apply mutatis mutandis to criminal offences committed by way of other printed materials.
Criminal Offences Committed in the Republic of Serbia and Abroad
Article 28
If a person has committed criminal offences both in the Republic of Serbia and abroad, the court which is competent for the criminal offence committed in the Republic of Serbia has jurisdiction.
