  1. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF MONTENEGRO

  2. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • The Judicial Information System (PRIS) is a unique system of all courts and the Institute for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions. This system began with the development of the late 1990s, and its full implementation, in all courts, was carried out in 2009. • The application of the PRIS, which is still in use, was introduced for the first time in 2000, and it was implemented at the level of all judicial institutions in 2009. This application is made in Oracle Forms and Reports technology, which is considered an outdated technology, full of security vulnerabilities, and besides, all the information systems that are therein have problems with system response speed and user speed, because it is not optimally optimized. Because of lack of funds, this application is still in use.

  3. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • From 2009 to 2011, there was no activity on the modernization of PRIS • PRIS were used exclusively by courts but insufficiently • Montenegro brings the ICT Strategy of the Judiciary 2011-2014 • With the support of USAID and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Norway, through IMG, Montenegro approaches the implementation of the Strategy

  4. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • Due to unresolved ownership relations over the source code of PRIS originally developed by a private company, the Judicial Council takes over the management and development of the ICT system for the courts • Thus, the Judicial Council has established the Department of ICT, which currently has 19 employees

  5. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • PRIS is actually predicted as: system for registration of cases, case management system, and system for statistical reporting • However, although all aspects are possible, today only the registration of cases and some statistical reporting are applied • The reasons for this are different: from the lack of funds for system modernization, unresolved ownership relations over the system, and incomplete technical documentation of the system

  6. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • After the implementation of the Strategy for ICT from 2011-2014, the number of beneficiaries has significantly increased , as well as the quality of data in PRIS, this was actually just the beginning of the introduction of ICT into the judiciary. • Implementation of this Strategy made progress: all cases in the judiciary are entered into the system, the decisions are integral part of the system, the hearings are scheduled through the system, the functionality of automatic creation of templates for clients is enabled, the PRIS is connected with other systems

  7. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • In the period 2014-2016, there were no significant investments in the system as there was no donor support. Finally, in negotiations with the European Union, Montenegro has recognized the importance of the information system in the judiciary, declared a system of importance to the state, and paved the way for the adoption of the Strategy for ICT in the judiciary for 2016-2020

  8. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • This Strategy provides a unique ICT system for the judiciary: courts, prosecutors' offices, the Ministry of Justice and the Institute for the execution of criminal sanctions • At the moment, the Ministry of Justice managed the preparation of technical documentation for the announcement of tenders for new software solutions for all users. • In order to avoid problems from the past, the Ministry of Justice has been entrusted with the management of the new system.

  9. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • However, the only way to manage development, improve the system for each user is not clearly defined by the Strategy, so in the near future we will see whether it will bring new problems or the final solution

  11. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • First of all, the functionality of case management, not only as through the registration of cases, but also the measurement of the length of the procedure both in phases and total. • Furthermore, we expect better and accurate statistics of cases at all levels, but also the development of a paperless courts.

  12. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • In time to come, we have to do a serious jobs: the involvement of courts for misdemeanors in PRIS, the reorganization of courts network within the Judicial Reform Strategy, the fulfillment of the measures prescribed by the Action Plan for Chapter 23 • The problems we face are numerous - from lack of resources to insufficient staff

  13. ICT IN MONTENEGRIN JUDICIARY • However, the Judicial Council is very committed to the implementation of the Strategy for ICT in the judiciary • Despite the problems that we face daily, The Judicial Council is committed to achieving the principles of modern democracy - an independent and efficient judiciary
