This January, draft Law on Detectives prepared by the MoI was sent to the National Assembly in order to be adopted under urgent procedure.

After BCSP warned how, by its adoption, rights guaranteed by the Constitution may be endangered, Commissioner for Information of Public Importance, Rodoljub Sabic, asked for this draft Law to be withdrawn from procedure.

The problem is this draft stands in contradiction to the Law on Protection of Personal Data. BCSP specifically emphasized how by the wording of this proposal, after receiving an inquiry by private detective, every state institution would be obliged to provide data.

We invite you to read the statement by BCSP Researcher Marko Milosevic, published in the “Danas” daily newspaper on January 23, 2012.

    The Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) expresses deep concern over serious irregularities, abuses, and selective actions by members of the Ministry of Interior during the local elections held on June 8, 2025, in Zaječar and Kosjerić. We call for an immediate, independent investigation into all reported incidents. These events are part of a broader security context in which the police are increasingly failing to fulfill their primary role—protecting citizens and upholding the rule of law.
