Nastanak i nezavisnost regulatornih tela u Srbiji: domaće ili eksterne determinante?
The Origin And Independence Of The Regulatotry Bodies In Serbia: Internal Or Extarnal Determinants?

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the concept of regulatory agencies: when and why they arise, what is their role, and what kind of challenges they face. analyzing a group of regulatory agencies in serbia, the article measures their de-jure independence using gillardi’s index. the conclusion is that, viewed through the lenses of formal institutional design, serbian regulatory agencies exhibit a high degree of independence. However, this might be further mediated by insufficient or hindered enforcement. therefore, in order to account for a full picture of the agencies’ institutional life, in the first place their de-facto independence, one needs to reflect on what some theories of europeanization drew attention to - to what extent have the regulatory agencies resorted to their formally granted powers and mechanisms in practice. Such an exploration of enforcement would be a step further in accounting for the genuine agencies’ level of independence.
