In cooperation with the Supreme Court of Cassation and the Basic Court in Sabac, since June 2019, the Thematic Open Doors has been held regularly, three times a year, as part of the project Constituencies for Judicial Reform in Serbia. They are an open forum for discussing with citizens how their court operates. In this way, citizens will have the opportunity to get to know the court from a different perspective, and through dialogue with the representatives of the judiciary, will solve a number of dilemmas they have as current or potential participants in court proceedings. The project was supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
