Sredstva od oportuniteta i javne nabavke

Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): Serbian

The Citizens' Initiative and BIRN Serbia have been following the implementation of various types of budget support for non-governmental organizations for years, and these findings, as well as proposals for improving the situation and eliminating irregularities, are being promoted within the broader coalition OKO (Open about tenders), of which Transparency Serbia is a member. One of the types of financing that has not been sufficiently illuminated so far are public tenders for the allocation of funds collected by the state based on the postponement of criminal prosecution ("opportunity"). Given the expertise possessed by Transparency Serbia, the main subject of this analysis was public procurement, i.e. procurement carried out by the winners of the public competition for the allocation of funds collected on the basis of the postponement of criminal prosecution. To the extent that it is necessary, the analysis also deals with other issues, such as the legal framework for the implementation of the competition, the transparency of the procedure and the supervision of the execution of the contract.

Three Freedoms Under the Magnifying Glass: December 26 – January 16, 2025

Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): English

Yesterday we witnessed the attempted murder of a student who participated in the protest. The disturbing moment of the young woman being hit by a car should not be seen in an isolated context. In recent months, we have witnessed numerous attacks on students and citizens who demand the determination and bearing of responsibility for the death of 15 people who died when a canopy fell in Novi Sad. Student blockades started after one such attack on students of the Faculty of Dramatic Arts. Since then, the highest state officials, starting with the president, find different ways to justify the abusers. In addition, government representatives embarked on a serious campaign of targeting and endangering the safety of students, high school students and all those who support student demands. This kind of atmosphere just led to attacks like yesterday’s. The government must urgently stop spreading hatred towards those critical of the regime, because they directly encourage violence and tensions in society. The number of violations of basic rights of citizens is almost impossible to count, but what is particularly worrying is the fact that these attacks are becoming more and more extreme and can lead to fatal consequences.

Three Freedoms Under the Magnifying Glass: December 13 – December 26, 2024

Author(s): Not Specified Author / Language(s): English

Another challenging year is passing and towards its end the situation in society is still tense. Blockades and repression towards high school students, students, and citizens continue. Thugs hit the crowd with cars and beat them, the first misdemeanor charges for participation in the protests are starting to arrive, the media close to the regime are targeting, the security services spy on activists… However, the end of the year also brought hope. Hope was brought by young, smart and brave people who stood up to fight for all of us. For freedom, for equality, for a better tomorrow. They show us that our strength is togetherness and perseverance, that it is worth fighting for the rule of law, that it is worth fighting against corruption, crime, violence, arrogance, insolence and lack of culture. Their understanding and application of democratic principles on faculties gives us hope that future generations of those who will build our society will be better and more successful in creating a fair and equal society. The youth together with the citizens lit up Slavija last week, but their struggle will certainly illuminate the years to come, and we wish you a lot of courage, perseverance and youthful spirit in the next one!
