Government adopts amendments to Law on public procurement
Belgrade,
30 December 2011
State Secretary of Finance Goran Radosavljevic confirmed that the Serbian government at its session today adopted the Bill amending the Law on public procurement.
Radosavljevic told the Beta news agency that the amendments envision the establishment of a centralised body for public procurements, and explained that this will increase transparency and also provide savings in the budget.
The proposed amendments will be sent to Serbian Parliament for adoption under the standard procedure, he said and expressed hope that MPs will discuss the document at the end of January.
The Public Procurement Office will continue to work within the Ministry of Finance, he said.
This does not mean that the Office will lose its independence. It will only have better cooperation with the budget inspection, which is also part of the Ministry of Finance, said Radosavljevic.
The Public Procurement Office will get more power because it will be able to submit requests for initiating procedures to protect public interest.
