From
B92's excellent daily email newsletter:
Death penalty set to go
BELGRADE, Friday - The Serbian justice ministry has drawn up a series of
amendments to the criminal statute including the abolition of the death
penalty.
Minister Vladan Batic said that capital punishment had been repealed
throughout Europe on the grounds that it was outdated and ineffective. It
has in any case not been put into practice in Yugoslavia in many years.
The bill will increase the penalties for voting offences and rape, among
other crimes. It also defines some new offences in the areas of corruption
and racial violence. (B92)
