Regionalna advokatska komora Tuzla donijela je rješenje broj 5-DT-031/25 kojim se u cijelosti odbacuje kao neosnovana disciplinska prijava sudije Općinskog suda u Tuzli, Šejle Ćatić, podnesena protiv advokata Mirnesa Ajanovića, punomoćnika kupaca stanova u predmetu „Dženex – Lamela B2“.
Podsjećamo, prijava sudije protiv advokata je podnesena zbog naših medijskih objava na našem portalu Dokumentovano.ba.
Nakon analize od dvadeset stranica, disciplinski tužilac je donio jasan zaključak:
„PODNESENA PRIJAVA JE NEOSNOVANA.”
- Nema dokaza o bilo kakvom medijskom djelovanju advokata
Disciplinski tužilac je utvrdio da:
- ne postoji nijedan dokaz da je advokat Mirnes Ajanović objavio, distribuirao ili plasirao bilo koji sadržaj spomenut u prijavi;
- da čak i u slučaju postojanja objava od strane advokata, takve radnje ne bi bile disciplinski prekršaj, dok god su u okviru slobode izražavanja i profesionalnih granica.
- Pravo na javnu kritiku sudskih odluka – garantovano i nedodirljivo
Disciplinski tužilac nedvojbeno potvrđuje:
- da advokat ima pravo javno komentarisati sudske odluke i postupanje pravosudnih institucija,
- da takvo komentarisanje nije disciplinski prekršaj,
- da Regionalna advokatska komora nema ovlaštenje sankcionisati advokata zbog javnog izražavanja profesionalnog mišljenja,
- i da sudije nemaju osnov za pokretanje disciplinskih postupaka protiv advokata zbog kritičkog osvrta na njihov rad.
- Pravo advokata da podnosi krivične prijave – čak i u predmetima u kojima postupa
Bitan dio rješenja odnosi se na navod sudije Šejle Ćatić, koja je advokatu stavila na teret i podnošenje krivičnih prijava.
Disciplinski tužilac izričito potvrđuje:
- da svaki advokat, kao i svaki građanin, ima pravo i obavezu podnositi krivične prijave kada za to postoje razlozi;
- da se to pravo odnosi i na predmete u kojima advokat profesionalno postupa;
- da sudije niti disciplinski organ ne mogu zabraniti niti sankcionisati advokata zbog korištenja zakonom propisanih mehanizama zaštite.
- Nezavisnost advokature i zaštita od institucionalnog pritiska
Rješenje Regionalne advokatske komore potvrđuje:
- da advokat ima punu slobodu učestvovati u javnoj raspravi o radu pravosuđa,
- da komentarisanje sudskih odluka nije zabranjeno,
- da ne postoji disciplinski osnov zasnovan na „mišljenju“, “percepciji”, “utisku” ili pretpostavkama sudije,
- te da se disciplinski postupci ne smiju koristiti kao instrument pritiska na advokata.
Time se potvrđuje i širi značaj rješenja za zaštitu profesionalne nezavisnosti advokature.
- Djelovanje u Komisiji za ljudska prava i slobode – van domašaja disciplinske odgovornosti
Disciplinski tužilac se posebno osvrće na prijavu sudije Šejle Ćatić koja se odnosi na javno-političko djelovanje advokata Mirnesa Ajanovića kao predsjednika Komisije za ljudska prava i sloboode Gradskog vijeća Tuzla.
Zaključak je nedvosmislen:
- to nije djelovanje u svojstvu advokata,
- ne spada u nadležnost Komore,
- ne može biti osnov za disciplinski postupak,
- niti se može ograničiti politički ili javni angažman advokata.
Ovaj stav osigurava zaštitu:
- slobode govora advokata,
- javnog i političkog djelovanja,
- te sprečava zloupotrebu disciplinskih mehanizama protiv advokata koji su nosioci javnih funkcija.
DOBIJENA PRAVNA BITKA ADVOKATURE PROTIV NEOSNOVANOG PRITISKA SUDIJE JE OD JAVNOG INTERESA
Ovim rješenjem potvrđeno je:
- da advokat Mirnes Ajanović nije počinio nikakvu povredu Kodeksa,
- da su navodi iz prijave rezultat subjektivne percepcije i pretpostavki sudije Šejle Ćatić,
- da disciplinski organ ne može postupati na osnovu impresija i nagađanja, pa ni od strane sudija,
- te da advokatura ostaje nezavisna, autonomna i otporna na svaki vid pritiska.
U narednim objavama serijal Dokumentovano.ba donosi citirane dijelove rješenja Regionalne advokatske komore Tuzla, imajući u vidu širi institucionalni značaj i važnost zaštite prava na slobodu izražavanja svih građana – uključujući advokate – u pitanjima od javnog interesa, bez bilo kakvog pritiska od strane sudija.
DISCIPLINARY COMPLAINT BY A JUDGE AGAINST ATTORNEY MIRNES AJANOVIĆ DISMISSED – THE BAR ASSOCIATION ESTABLISHED THE COMPLAINT OF JUDGE ŠEJLA ĆATIĆ AS ENTIRELY UNFOUNDED
The Regional Bar Association of Tuzla has issued Decision No. 5-DT-031/25, dismissing in its entirety as unfounded the disciplinary complaint filed by Šejla Ćatić, Judge of the Municipal Court in Tuzla, against attorney Mirnes Ajanović, legal representative of the apartment buyers in the case “Dženex – Lamela B2”.
As a reminder, the judge filed the complaint against the attorney because of our media publications on our portal Dokumentovano.ba.
After a twenty-page analysis, the disciplinary prosecutor reached a clear conclusion:
“THE SUBMITTED COMPLAINT IS UNFOUNDED.”
- No evidence of any media activity by the attorney
The disciplinary prosecutor established that:
- there is not a single piece of evidence that attorney Mirnes Ajanović published, distributed, or disseminated any of the content mentioned in the complaint;
• even if such publications by the attorney existed, those actions would not constitute a disciplinary offense, as long as they fall within the scope of freedom of expression and professional boundaries.
- The right to publicly criticize judicial decisions – guaranteed and untouchable
The disciplinary prosecutor unequivocally confirms:
- an attorney has the right to publicly comment on judicial decisions and the conduct of judicial institutions;
• such commentary does not constitute a disciplinary offense;
• the Regional Bar Association has no authority to sanction an attorney for publicly expressing professional opinions;
• and that judges have no grounds to initiate disciplinary proceedings against an attorney for a critical commentary on their work.
- The attorney’s right to file criminal complaints – even in cases in which he acts professionally
A key part of the decision concerns the allegation by Judge Šejla Ćatić, who accused the attorney of filing criminal complaints.
The disciplinary prosecutor explicitly confirms:
- every attorney, just like every citizen, has the right and obligation to file criminal complaints when there are grounds to do so;
• this right applies even to cases in which the attorney professionally represents a party;
• that neither judges nor disciplinary bodies may prohibit or sanction an attorney for using legally prescribed mechanisms of protection.
- Independence of the legal profession and protection from institutional pressure
The decision of the Regional Bar Association confirms:
- an attorney has full freedom to participate in public debate regarding the functioning of the judiciary;
• commenting on judicial decisions is not prohibited;
• there is no disciplinary basis founded on a judge’s “opinion”, “perception”, “impression”, or assumptions;
• disciplinary proceedings may not be used as an instrument of pressure on an attorney.
This reaffirms the broader significance of the decision for protecting the professional independence of the legal profession.
- Activities within the Human Rights and Freedoms Commission – outside the scope of disciplinary liability
The disciplinary prosecutor specifically addressed the part of Judge Šejla Ćatić’s complaint related to the public-political activities of attorney Mirnes Ajanović as President of the Human Rights and Freedoms Commission of the Tuzla City Council.
The conclusion is unequivocal:
- this is not activity performed in the capacity of an attorney;
• it does not fall within the jurisdiction of the Bar;
• it cannot constitute grounds for disciplinary proceedings;
• nor can the attorney’s political or public engagement be restricted.
This position safeguards:
- freedom of speech of attorneys,
• their public and political engagement,
• and prevents the misuse of disciplinary mechanisms against attorneys holding public functions.
A legal victory of the legal profession against unfounded pressure by a judge is a matter of public interest
This decision confirms that:
- attorney Mirnes Ajanović committed no violation of the Code of Ethics;
• the allegations in the complaint are the result of the subjective perception and assumptions of Judge Šejla Ćatić;
• a disciplinary body cannot act based on impressions or speculation;
• and the legal profession remains independent, autonomous, and resistant to all forms of pressure.
In the next publications, the series Dokumentovano.ba will present cited sections of the decision of the Regional Bar Association of Tuzla, in view of its broader institutional importance and the importance of protecting the right to freedom of expression of all citizens — including attorneys — on matters of public interest, without any pressure from judges.
