The coordination body for the harmonization and monitoring of inspections, which was constituted today, will take care of the harmonization of the work programs of the inspection bodies, propose training of inspectors and monitor inspections.

The constitutive session was chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development and at the same time the President of the Coordination Body, Milun Zogović.

"A number of important issues were discussed at the session, including the constitution of the Coordinating Body, which formally began its work, the exchange of opinions on key priorities and challenges in the field of inspection supervision, as well as familiarization with the proposal of the Rules of Procedure", the announcement states.

As the main tasks of the Coordinating Body, the law recognizes the harmonization and monitoring of inspections, as well as the coordination of the work of all inspection authorities and legal entities that perform inspection inspections by law.

"The coordination body takes care of the compliance of the work programs of the inspection authorities, proposes training programs for inspectors, gives recommendations, instructions and opinions in relation to the organization and planning of inspection inspections and performs monitoring and evaluation of inspections and inspection inspections," the statement added.

Zogović pointed out that the Coordinating Body, in order to perform tasks more efficiently and effectively, can form temporary working groups with clear tasks and goals. It is a particularly important instrument for proactive action in the prevention and early detection of corrupt acts and other acts with characteristics of corruption, as one of the biggest scourges facing modern society.

"Anti-corruption strategies can be effective, among other things, if risk analysis methodologies are well established in the performance of inspection supervision, with the aim of proactive action in the prevention and early detection of corrupt actions and other acts with characteristics of corruption, in order to prevent informal social rules that suggest the acceptability of corruption in everyday life, as well as playing around with the legal framework," said Zogović.

According to him, the fight against corruption is at the top of the priority tasks of both the Coordinating Body for the prevention and monitoring of inspections, as well as all inspection services.

"The fight against economic activities over which the state has no control must also be at the top of the priorities through the implementation of concrete measures to establish fair competition and suppress the gray economy, as well as creating and strengthening the awareness of the wider and professional public about the causes and consequences of illegal business and trade. once we establish full coordination, I expect that we will have significant results in this area as well", concluded Zogović.
