\tIn this first global analysis of defence corruption risks, published on January 29 by Transparency International UK\u2019s Defence and Security Programme, it is stated how in Serbia\u2019s defence system, most preconditions for leading an effective anti-corruption policy are met; however, measures being proposed and implemented have yet to become system-wide in their foundation and reach.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\tFor conducting this survey into integrity of Serbia\u2019s defence system BCSP researchers were earmarked after being recommended by Transparency Serbia (TS). Researchers\u2019 findings were grounded in data collected in the course of several ongoing and past BCSP\u2019s projects, primarily Mapping and Monitoring<\/a> of Security Sector Reform in Serbia, as well as the Corruption Risk Map<\/a>. BCSP researchers were asked to grade, from 0 (zero) to 4, anti-corruption measures implemented in Serbia\u2019s defence system. Answers to 77 questions were then passed on for peer review, as well as to Serbia\u2019s Ministry of Defence, which filed its own commentary of BCSP\u2019s work. Transparency International then calculated the results and provided a summary<\/a>\u00a0of most important findings.<\/p>\n

\tIn Serbia\u2019s defence system 8% of the budget is spent on confidential costs, while managing and evidencing various assets at the system\u2019s disposal is under-regulated and disorganised. Although first steps in the course of introducing a modern internal audit service have been taken, results are yet to be seen, while insights into dealings and financial management of defence industry remain limited. As in the rest of state administration, what is lacking is a mechanism to protect whistle-blowers, whereas prevention of corruption on so-called \u201csensitive\u201d positions (as in procurement) remains underdeveloped. A special issue for concern is that anti-corruption and integrity-building procedures and practices have not been introduced in military\u2019s field manuals and regulations which are valid \u201cin theatre\u201d. In the same group of countries with Serbia is Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Croatia has deserved a somewhat better grade, with corruption risk assessed as \u201cmoderate\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\tTogether with Transparency Serbia, BCSP is preparing a panel discussion with the aim to present and discuss Index\u2019s most important findings. Exact time and venue will be posted soon on BCSP\u2019s web site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
