Although these changes seem unimportant and easy to overlook, their purpose is to strengthen discretionary powers of politicians who manage security institutions, as well as to increase the power of these institutions vis-\u00e0-vis individual rights and freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>\tAdoption of poorly justified and inadequate laws and by-laws at the expense of citizens was made possible by a rather deficient constitutional framework of the security system and sector. No attempts were made so far to provide for a comprehesive legal framework of the security system by any government in Serbia. Instead of adapting the system to the needs of citizens, they have constantly adopted halfway and inconsistent legal solutions. This event therefore aims to incite debate on the possibilities of solving systemic problems in this delicate area at the constitutional level in order to put an end to progressive bottom-up system erosion.<\/p>\n<p>\tBy pointing to the gaps and flaws of the legal framework of security sector in Serbia BCSP aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on constitutional reforms, which has thus far been focused on the judiciary. The existing legal framework in these areas has been identified as a major hurdle for further progress within chapters 23 and 24 of Serbian accession negotiations with the European Union.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgrade Centre for Security Policy (BCSP) invites you to the panel discussion \u201eSecurity sector in Serbia on the path of legal erosion and increasing politization\u201c.
