A/HRC/23/15 67. The fight against corruption entailed the legal obligation to submit to the AntiCorruption Agency reports on the property of public officials; those reports had been published on the Agency website. Public administration bodies and judicial authorities prepared integrity plans. 68. In accordance with the latest legislative amendments, endangering the safety of journalists in the performance of their profession was considered as serious an offense as endangering State officials, such as, for example, the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, judges and public prosecutors. 69. Competent authorities had taken action aimed at identifying the perpetrators of three unsolved murders of journalists. The Government had established a commission tasked with preparing an opinion on effective ways to improve the investigation. 70. Criminal proceedings had been initiated against members of extremist groups, and the Constitutional Court conducted proceedings to prohibit the operation of associations that violated guaranteed human and minority rights and spread hatred, which was also a form of protection of human rights defenders. The deletion of such associations from the register was mandatory. All proceedings in such matters were urgent ex lege. 71. National Councils were elected and constituted in accordance with the Law on National Councils of National Minorities (2009), except for the Bosniak National Council. The latter had not been constituted after the elections, but its work had been continued by the members who had been elected in 2003, pursuant to the transitional provision of the Law. The State continued to finance the work of the Bosniak National Council. The plan for the current year was to make amendments to the Law that would eliminate the observed deficiencies. 72. Social care institutions, in cooperation with other stakeholders in the protection of victims of human trafficking, fulfilled their duties under the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings. Activities were ongoing to put in operation a special facility with the first emergency reception ward for victims of trafficking, as a special unit of the Centre for the Protection of Victims of Trafficking. Over 170 employees at social-work centres had completed training on the protection of victims of human trafficking in 2011-2012. 73. Competent State institutions had programmes for the perpetrators of domestic violence and sexual and gender-based violence who were currently serving sentences. Seminars for prosecutors on treatment of perpetrators of domestic violence and violence in intimate partner relationships were also organized. 74. Centres for social work were required to provide 24-hour emergency intervention services, directly and in cooperation with other services and agencies in the local community, and where it was necessary to protect the life, health and safety of children, adults or the elderly. The operating model used at the social-work centres was case management, and victims of violence were also referred to services provided in the community. 75. In 2013 Serbia planned to take steps envisaged by the law to ratify the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence. 76. The legislative framework for promotion and protection of the rights of the child had been completed and several laws related to the rights of child had been passed, namely, on social protection, education, health care, justice, policing and other relevant services. A law on the rights of the child was being drafted. The National Assembly Committee on the Rights of the Child was tasked with verifying compliance of national legislation with international standards on the rights of the child. 10
