Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia Vincent Degert has stated that there will be no shortcuts on Serbia’s path toward the EU. He also added that combat against corruption would have an important role. EU representative: No shortcuts to EU “Serbia must show results that the EU, but also the Serbian citizens, expects from it,” he said. The head of the EU delegation to Serbia stressed at a public procurement officers’ certificate ceremony that establishment of institutions and existence of a transparent and efficient public procurement system were crucial. He added that strong political commitment and creation of a system where there would be no holes in the laws and their implementation were necessary. “Four principles need to be respected in the implementation of public procurements – transparency, equal treatment for all bidders, free competition and non-discriminatory rules,” Degert pointed out. Evaluation of public procurement in Serbia, on which EUR 4bn is spent a year, as he said, will play an important role in assessing the eligibility for the EU candidate status that will be done in October. “Serbia’s EU accession process will depend on the successfulness of combat against corruption, which is why awarding the certificates to the public procurement officers is very encouraging,” Degert concluded.
