Trial within a reasonable time is a legal standard established to shorten lengthy court proceedings that have become a global problem. Their purpose is to create the most efficient judicial system possible without compromising the principle of fairness. A significant step towards that goal is the Law on the Protection of the Right to Trial within a Reasonable Time, which was passed in the Republic of Serbia in 2015. By applying this law, a combined system of protection of this right was adopted, in which protection is realized during the duration of the procedure but also after the end of the procedure. The aim of this paper is to consider the level of protection of this right in Serbia due to the adoption of the Law on Protection of the Right to Trial within a Reasonable Time.
