| """Serbian Supreme Court (Vrhovni sud) via the public Solr search listing. |
| |
| The court runs Drupal 7 with a Solr backend at `vrh.sud.rs`. The |
| `/sr-lat/solr-search-page/results` endpoint sorts by date (newest first) and |
| exposes each case's reference (e.g., "Rev 102/2025"), detail URL, and |
| decision date in the result-summary block — enough for a Goldenset without |
| fetching detail pages. |
| |
| Civil filter: case-ID prefix `Rev/Rev1/Rev2/Prev/Gzz/Gzz1` (civil revision). |
| Drop `Kzz`, `Kž` (criminal). Server-side `Građanska materija` (civil matter) |
| marker is also captured into metadata. |
