According to reports by the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights, this problem was completely ignored in Serbia under the regime of Slobodan Milosevic, both by the courts and by the police.
Prema izvješćima Međunarodnog helsinškog odbora za ljudska prava ovaj problem je bio u cijelosti zapostavljen u Srbiji u vrijeme vladavine režima Slobodana Miloševića, kako od strane sudova, tako i od strane policije.
