BELGRADE Transparency Serbia NGO has stated that the government has done very little to stop corruption in the first 100 days. The NGO says that very little was done in the sense of systematic creation of conditions for curbing corruption and that that steps in a wrong direction were even made in some areas. NGO says govt. not doing enough to tackle corruption “The government unfortunately has not presented a concrete plan or a program for the curbing of corruption to this day and the coalition agreement of the ruling parties signed in July is still the most detailed published document that shows in which direction and how the current Serbian government will conduct its anti-corruption and other activities,” reads the Transparency Serbia’s release. According to the NGO, the main dilemma when it comes to the assessment of the government’s anti-corruption efforts is what the government should deal with in the first place – investigations or reforms and creating an atmosphere that would make it harder for corruption to blossom and easier for investigative organs to do their job. The NGO believes that the First Deputy PM in charge of defense, security and combat against crime and corruption Aleksandar Vucic does not have precisely determined jurisdiction in combat against corruption. Transparency Serbia says that the public has mainly focused the attention on the work on the investigative organs in case of “24 dubious privatizations” and several other cases, such as Agrobanka, in the first 100 days of the government work. The NGO says that a part of PM Ivica Dacic’s expose saying he would insist on the implementation of recommendations of independent bodies can be assessed as positive. Transparency Serbia says that nothing or almost nothing has been done regarding 13 items that the NGO proposed to the government as priorities of the anti-corruption policy. “The current government has a great support of the citizens so far when it comes to combat against corruption, which opens a chance for the support to the necessary reforms in the area. However, in order for Serbia to make a big step forward, it is necessary to plan and implement measures that will remove systemic causes of corruption and leave permanent institutions and regulations aimed at combating the illegal phenomenon,” Transparency Serbia concluded in the report.
