FOURTH SECTION

Application no. 20854/15 Milan MILINKOVIĆ against Serbia lodged on 22 April 2015

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

Following disciplinary proceedings against him, the applicant was dismissed from a post of a detention guard at the Valjevo Juvenile Detention Centre ( Kazneno-popravni zavod za maloletnike ). On 23 September 2011 in judicial review proceedings the Administrative Court upheld the applicant ’ s dismissal without holding a public hearing although the applicant had expressly requested it. On 30 October 2014 the Constitutional Court upheld that decision. The applicant complains under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about the lack of a public hearing before the Administrative Court.

QUESTION TO THE PARTIES

Has there been a violation of the applicant ’ s right to a fair and public hearing in the determination of his civil rights and obligations, as required by Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (see, among other authorities, Ramos Nunes de Carvalho e Sá v. Portugal [GC] , nos. 55391/13, 57728/13 and 74041/13, §§ 187-192 and 209-211, 6 November 2018, and Motion Pictures Guarantors Ltd. v. Serbia , no. 28353/06, §§ 30-37, 8 June 2010)?
