Abstract
The justice system must be independent and unbiased and in accordance with international standards and not serve as an instrument to protect the politics of power and business structures and politics related to power holders. Therefore, the whole country should have inclusive reforms in judicial power and prosecution as a precondition for restoring citizens trust, institutions that will guarantee that the executive and legislative power do their functions in accordance to legal acts and international standards. The justice system should ensure independence and, in particular the absence of political influence on decision-making in the prosecution and the judiciary, the appointment and promotion of judges and prosecutors will be depoliticized. We can conclude that the existing justice system does not offer guarantees for the independence and integrity of the judiciary, so changes are needed in accordance with international documents and good practice. There is a need for comprehensive analysis of deviant forms in the justice system, especially corruption, clear and transparent criteria and performance to fight corruption. Corruption is the main obstacle to the path of sustainable political, economic and social development of states. The legislative and institutional framework for combating corruption and organized crime has been established. However, final court decisions on cases of corruption remain particularly high. The results of this paper should reflect the analysis of the functioning of the justice system, the flaws and recommendations to improve justice institutions. The used methodology will be in the function of researching the subject and obtaining results and conclusions of the work using appropriate legal, statistical and sociological scientific methods that will achieve the specified objective. Part of the paper will be the conclusions of the paper that will be the product of analysis and scientific research.
