In a round table discussion themed “Institutional Obstacles to Fight Corruption”, Barac said that the problem of systemic corruption is predominant in Serbia.
Serbia has adopted anti-corruption laws but they are not mutually harmonised, Barac said and noted that it is necessary to establish control over executive authorities as well as legal control of administrative acts.
Vice president of the Serbian Judges’ Association and judge at the Belgrade District Court Omer Hadziomerovic explained that imprecise regulation allows for various interpretations.
Vice president of the Serbian Prosecutors’ Association and district attorney in Valjevo Zlatko Sulovic said that the lack of institutions, low level of political conscience, insufficient influence of media and the public as well as underdeveloped democracy stimulate corruption on all levels.
