President of the Anti-Corruption Agency's Board, which composed the draft law, Cedomir Cupic expects that the bill will be adopted in March, and that it will not be altered. Moreover, he urged the MPs not to amend the provisions which were composed by experts. He called on the MPs to prove that the legislative authorities want to adopt a law which would help in the combat against a dangerous social problem - corruption. “The draft law on financing of political parties would bring new useful solutions, such as the prohibition of indirect financing of parties and campaigns, as well as regulations which would reduce squandering of budget funds,” Program Director of Transparency Serbia Nemanja Nenadic underlined. He added that it was good that the parties were due to publish their financial reports on the internet, adding that one of the important innovations was greater jurisdiction of the Anti-Corruption Agency in control of reports on financing of election campaigns. “However, in spite of good solutions there are also certain doubts including the division of responsibilities between the Anti-Corruption Agency and the State Audit Institution,” Nenadic said, adding that this division should be clear in order to secure better control of annual reports by political parties.
