"I trust that you will adjudicate independently and impartially, in compliance with the Constitution and the law, exclusively in your good conscience, and thus ensure a fair trial to every citizen and contribute to the reputation of the judicial function in the Republic of Serbia“ was the message sent by Mrs. Gojković to the newly elected judges.

In compliance with the Law on Judges, judges, before assuming their offices, take their oaths of office before the Speaker of the National Assembly.

They were elected to the first judicial functions at the sitting of the National Assembly on 14 February.
