In order to progress its planned approach to strategic reforms based on issues which had been identified in the judicial sector, the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of BiH (HJPC) prepared its first strategic plan for the period between March 2005 and December 2006.

Based on results achieved by implementing this first strategic document, and having in mind requirements set before Bosnia and Herzegovina institutions by European integration process, the current Strategic plan of the HJPC was developed, which covers the period from July 2007 to December 2012. It includes activities, which continue the reform in the judicial sector commenced in the previous period and to solve actual problems obstructing the success of the judicial sector. This Plan has also envisaged that the HPJC gives its contribution to the drafting of the National Justice Sector Reform Strategy

The adoption of the Justice Sector Reform Strategy for BiH for the period 2009 – 2013, which has the objective of creating a joint reform framework for the institutions in the BiH Justice Sector and which contains harmonized priorities for the development of the judicial sector as a whole, has put forward the need to revise Strategic Plan for the HJPC, and to adjust it to the Justice Sector Reform Strategy.
