On Monday, November 11, the Committee for Economy, Finance and Budget will announce a new public competition for the election of three members of the Fiscal Council, which will last 15 days, ie until November 26.
The decision on this was made at the session of this Committee. The President of the Board, Boris Mugoša, emphasized that they had conducted the competition twice already, but that there were not enough candidates, and that some of them were withdrawing during the process. Mugoša emphasized that he wants them to try, to comply with the law and for the council to be in full composition by January 2025.
Although the legal conditions for the formation of the council were created in February last year, that independent body that will supervise the implementation of the fiscal policy and make proposals and measures for its improvement has not been formed to date because two public competitions for the selection of members failed due to low interest of candidates.

MP of the New Serbian Democracy (NSD) Dejan Đurović said that this is a serious problem, because the council, which is one of the highest levels of control, is not functioning.
"The conditions are quite acceptable, that is ten years of work in the Ministry of Finance, any employed university graduate who fulfills this can apply. We have members of the Fiscal Council in the environment who are serious economic scientists, there are also their analyzes through the media, and we cannot "Let's assemble the members. If this competition does not pass, we will have to hold talks with the Government about raising the monthly salary or about some other conditions, because of which people definitely do not want to apply," said Đurović.
Mugoša agreed with that and emphasized that the election model is complicated, but that he wants them to try to do it by 2025.
In addition, the Committee gave the green light to the Proposal for the Law on Information Security, amendments to the Law on the Rehabilitation of Credit Institutions and the Law on Bankruptcy and Liquidation of Banks. Deputies will also declare in the parliament the Law on deadlines for the settlement of financial obligations, the Draft Law on Budget Inspection and the Draft Budget of the State Audit Institution for 2025.
