2/7/2015, Belgrade:  Mr. Dusan Milisavljevic, MP, has organized a press conference at the National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, in order to support Autonomous Women’s Center’s proposal for the introduction of emergency barring orders in the Law on Police. Representatives of AWC, Vanja Macanovic and Tanja Ignjatovic, also took part in this press conference.

By adopting this proposal, the police would be granted the power to order a perpetrator of domestic violence to vacate the residence of the victim for 14 days and to prohibit the perpetrator from contacting the victim in order to prevent further violence. Those measures would be imposed by the police officers in the form of a Decision within a maximum of 48 hours from reporting of an event, with the duration of 14 days.
