Abstract

The article examines the essential integration of gender-based violence (GBV) expertise into the Serbian probation system. It identifies the urgent need for specialized training for probation officers to address GBV effectively, highlighting the disparities and commonalities with practices across Europe. The paper explores legislative reforms in Serbia aimed at combating GBV and assesses their alignment with European standards. Through a comparative analysis, it suggests models for Serbia to enhance its probation services by incorporating successful European practices. The study underscores the challenges faced in the integration process, including legal, cultural, and institutional barriers. It concludes by recommending strategic approaches for Serbia to overcome these hurdles, emphasizing the role of specialized training, policy reforms, and international collaboration in this area to foster a robust response to GBV within the probation services framework.
