Hi, and welcome to the latest news and tools produced by EDJNet!

This week we present you a story from the Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia (CINS) that adds a piece to our collaborative investigation of femicides in Europe. CINS highlights the lack of statistics on this phenomenon in their country, mainly due to the fact that the crime of femicide does not exist, which often leads to soft sentences.

The other two stories we feature, both from Openpolis, add to the two collaborative investigations on the changes in the world of work after the pandemic, and on tracking the progress of the European Green Deal. Finally, we present a list of EDJNet speakers who will participate in Dataharvest 2023 next week!

Enjoy the reading!

Femicide in Serbia: crime and lesser punishments

Over the past ten years, more than 300 femicides have occurred in Serbia. The victims' families look for justice in court, but CINS’s investigation reveals that they often do not find it.

  • Since femicide isn't recognised as a distinct crime in Serbia, there are no official statistics regarding these cases.
  • Femicides can be treated as aggravated murder, with sentences ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment, while the sentences for murder or domestic violence resulting in death are lower – the maximum is 15 years in prison.
  • More than half of the 117 cases of femicide analyzed by CINS that went to court between 2014 and the end of 2022 were not characterized as aggravated murder, enabling those who commit femicide to get away with lesser punishments.
