Meeting on Bailiffs’ Charges

Meeting on Bailiffs’ Charges

On May 27, we had a second meeting dedicated to the charges of public bailiffs, in particular for the telecommunication companies. Meeting with the Bailiffs’ Chamber is a part of our efforts in standardizing the practice related to the charges of the bailiffs for enforcement of the debts to the telco operators 2007-2012. Main issue outlined by FIC is that the operators have high and unpredictable costs, especially the costs of the cancellation of procedures, and the costs after the first advance payment. Bailiff’s Chamber advised that companies should submit complaint about the work of concrete public bailiff when they determine unjustified costs.  They also suggested asking for authentic interpretation of Article 166 of Amendments to the Enforcement Law. As a reminder, FIC addressed this topic in a letter to the Justice Ministry and the Public Bailiffs’ Chamber on February 5, and at the meeting with those two institutions on February 17. This second meeting was held to explain problem and advocate to the new management of the Chamber. FIC Delegation included representatives of FIC members from telecommunications sector Danica Cankovic and Dejan Cavic from A1, Vladimir Boljanovic and Maja Lakicevic Lolic from Telenor and FIC Regulatory Officer Jelena Lazarevic and Public Baillifs’ Chamber by Chamber President Bojan Kostic and Supervisory Board President Ivana Bukarica.
