Expedient financing of personal and asset protection was the topic of a discussion held on Monday, October 3, in Loznica. The discussion was organized by the Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP), with the support of PAKT Loznica organization, one of the partners of the PRO-CURE Group.
Case study “Why doesn’t hail protection in Serbia work?” by Miroslav Mijatovic was also presented during the discussion.
When it comes to hail protection, the jurisdictions and the rights of local governments have to be precisely determined, it was stated at the meeting.
Participants of the discussion agreed that investing in the procurement of enough anti-hail rockets, paying the shooters, and the maintenance of anti-hail stations is money well spent.
Representatives of municipal administrations and the city hall, representatives of farmers, as well as media representatives and representatives of the civil society organizations from Loznica participated in the discussion.
The event was part of the project PRO-CURE: Strengthening Civil Scrutiny of Public Procurement in the Security Sectororganized by BCSP and Society Against Corruption with the financial support of the EU Delegation to Serbia and the Office for Cooperation with Civil Society of the Republic of Serbia.
Report was translated by BCSP Intern Aleksandra Lazic.

Civil society organisations express deep concern over the direction of the investigative actions concerning the incident of 15 March 2025, which have recently been undertaken by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade. The current conduct of this Prosecutor’s Office is the exact opposite of the thorough and impartial investigation that such a grave case requires. Instead, it indicates a deliberate intention to cover up the actual incident and divert public attention towards the political persecution of victims and all those who have provided them with legal or other forms of support.
