Serbia makes progress in fight against corruption

Belgrade, 25 March 2019

Minister of Justice Nela Kuburovic spoke today with representatives of the EU Directorate-General for Enlargement Allan Jones and David Hudson about the results achieved in the fight against corruption and Serbia's progress under the Action Plan for Chapter 23.

Kuburovic recalled that as of 1 March 2018 a new organisation of courts and prosecutor's offices was established, which formed four new regional centres for the fight against organised crime and corruption.

She pointed out that due to new legal solutions, the courts and prosecutors' offices have achieved good results and added that more than 300 final verdicts for criminal offences with corruptive elements were passed.

At the meeting it was pointed out that it is necessary to carefully determine parameters according to which the results of implementation of laws will be followed, so that all the good effects of the new system could be recognised in the reports on Serbia's progress on the road to the European Union.

The Minister pointed out that the aim is to reduce the possibility of corruption, which will reduce the number of such cases in the prosecutor's offices and courts.

Representatives of the Directorate General for Enlargement said that the efforts and progress of Serbia in the fight against corruption have been recognised, but that a lot of work still needs to be done, especially when it comes to prevention.
