Speakers at the round table held in the BCSP’s library noted that the global „Government Defence Anti-Corruption Index" stressed numerous risks from corruption were identified in Serbia’s defence system, with procurement being one of the principal problem areas, but Defence Ministry representative stated objections to TI UK’s methodology, and offered some advice for further research.

There are three organisations in Serbia with these responsibilities; the Security-Information Agency (SIA), the Military Security Agency (MSA) and the Military Intelligence Agency (MoI). The SIA is directly subordinated to the government and has the status of a special republic organisation, while both the MSA and MoI are organisational units (administrative bodies) within the Ministry of Defence (MoD) subordinated to the defence minister, and thus also to the government.
