issued by the Registrar of the Court   ECHR 097 (2013)   02.04.2013   Judgments concerning Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia,   and Turkey   The European Court of Human Rights has today notified in writing the following   judgments, of which nine (in italics) are Committee judgments and are final. The   others are Chamber judgments1 and are not final.   Length-of-proceedings cases, with the Court’s main finding indicated, can be found at   the end of the press release. The judgments in French are indicated with an asterisk (*).   The Court has also delivered today its judgment in the case of Tarantino and Others v. Italy   (applications nos. 25851/09, 29284/09 and 64090/09), for which a separate press release has   been issued.   Olszewski v. Poland (application no. 21880/03)   The applicant, Grzegorz Olszewski, is a Polish national who was born in 1958 and lives in   Gostynin (Poland). In 2002, Mr Olszewski was convicted of robbery and sentenced to five   years’ imprisonment. Relying in particular on Article 3 (prohibition of inhuman or   degrading treatment), he complained of the detention conditions in Płock prison - where   he had been detained on three occasions between December 1998 and February 2008.   Violation of Article 3 (living conditions in prison)   Just satisfaction: EUR 5,000 (non-pecuniary damage)   Momčilović v. Serbia (no. 23103/07)   The applicant, Milan Momčilović, is a Serbian national who was born in 1940 and lives in   Novi Sad (Serbia). In 2002, the Novi Sad District Court ruled partly in favour of   Mr Momčilović in a dispute with his former employer. This judgment was partly upheld   and partly reversed on appeal by the Supreme Court of Serbia, acting as a   second-instance court. At third instance, in 2007, the Supreme Court of Serbia finally   rejected his appeal on points of law. Relying on Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair hearing),   Mr Momčilović complained in particular that the Supreme Court, at third instance, had   not been constituted in accordance with the relevant national law.   Violation of Article 6 § 1   Just satisfaction: EUR 3,000 (non-pecuniary damage) and EUR 850 (costs and   expenses)   Under Articles 43 and 44 of the Convention, Chamber judgments are not final. During the three-month   period following a judgment’s delivery, any party may request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber   of the Court. If such a request is made, a panel of five judges considers whether the case deserves further   examination. In that event, the Grand Chamber will hear the case and deliver a final judgment. If the referral   request is refused, the Chamber judgment will become final on that day. Under Article 28 of the Convention,   judgments delivered by a Committee are final.   Once a judgment becomes final, it is transmitted to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe for   supervision of its execution.
