Interior Minister Ivica Dacic has stated that fight against organized crime and corruption is a matter of "greatest state interest". Dacic told Tanjug news agency in an interview in Belgrade on Sunday that none of those suspected of such acts will be privileged, and that President Boris Tadic "backs him completely" on this. "No one is privileged in fight against crime" The minister stated that adequate laws are needed in order to fight corruption, and mentioned legislation regulating the financing of political parties as an example, saying it contained "a lot of demagoguery". "The Anti-Corruption Agency Law has taken effect, and that is a good thing," he said, but insisted that the law on party financing must be changed. "Many are afraid of becoming legal donors or sponsors to some parties in Serbia, although it is normal and customary elsewhere in the world, because they fear political retaliation from other parties should the one they support fail to win," explained Dacic. For this reason, there is "this black market", continued the minister, and mentioned another phenomenon: some businessmen are helping all parties, "in order to secure their position in advance".
