On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Basic Law, an event jointly organised by the Institute for Comparative Law and IRZ took place in Belgrade on 22 October 2024.

Following the opening, the Serbian Constitutional Court Judge, Prof Dr Vladimir Petrov, and the Judge at the German Federal Constitutional Court, Prof Dr Udo Steiner, presented various aspects of the Basic Law from a Serbian and German perspective.

The speakers highlighted the exemplary function of the German Constitution and German constitutional law and emphasised the important role of the Federal Constitutional Court.

Another focus of the lectures was the question of protecting the Federal Constitutional Court from political influence by means of regulations with constitutional status.

Many of the participants are lawyers working in the field of constitutional law (including some with excellent German language skills), so the lectures were followed by intensive discussions.
