Lawyer Jelena Pavlovic said agreement was reached on all the cases brought before that court being resolved urgently and added that all the courts in the country would be informed in writing.

The demonstrators planned to march to the Finance Ministry to send a message that the banks were not paying all the taxes for their services.
They said that it had been three years since they had to pay bills and repay the debt since the monthly instalment rose to a level higher than their salaries because of the rise in the exchange rate of the Swiss Francs which went wild in 2015.
They added that local courts had been delaying the ruling, preventing them from appealing to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
They reiterated they would start a hunger strike outside the Court if their demand were not met.
