Anti-Corruption Council President Verica Barac says that hiding of the contract with Fiat represents Serbian government’s “height of arrogance”. She explained that the Anti-Corruption Council had received more than 20 kilograms of papers in which all data referring to contracting parties’ obligations had been blacked out with an explanation that it was a trade secret. Fiat contract move "height of arrogance" “A completely blacked out contract between the Serbian government and Fiat, which the Council got from the Economy Ministry, is a mockery of the Serbian citizens on behalf of whom the Council tried to learn about the details of the document,” Barac stressed. She stated that it was unacceptable to keep something that all citizens of Serbia were paying for a trade secret, bearing in mind that the Serbian government had assumed obligations that were being paid from the state budget by signing the contract with the Italian Fiat. According to the Anti-Corruption Council president, there have been cases in which information was censored in documents that the Council received from the state institutions. “However, the Serbian government has showed with the Fiat contract that it does not hesitate to do anything in order to deceive citizens and avoid control,” she stressed and added that a lot of money had been wasted on printing of the blacked out document. According to Barac, the drastic censorship of the Fiat contract, which was signed in September 2008, shows that the government and the state institutions could hide all data from the public and avoid any kind of public control. Public Information Commissioner Rodoljub Sabic stated on Thursday that the Economy Ministry had “played” the Anti-Corruption Council’s right to seek information by submitting the completely blacked out contract between Fiat and the government. He explained that he could issue two fines to the ministry but that it was all he could do. “However, before I started the process I got a notification from the ministry that they had acted on my order and that they had submitted the requested papers to the Council. However, they submitted the blacked out ones,” Sabic said. Verica Barac
