The Public Company for Coastal Zone Management (JPMD) will obtain certificates from the competent authority from the criminal record confirming that natural persons, i.e. bidders in the tender for the lease of beaches, have not been convicted of any of several criminal offenses.

This is foreseen by the amendments to the decision on leasing parts of the coastal zone, in the part relating to the issuance of certificates from criminal records for future bidders in the tender for the lease of beaches, which the Government adopted today in a telephone conference, reports the RTCG Portal.

It is stated that the change in the decision was made because the Ministry of Justice, as the competent authority for keeping criminal records, does not have the possibility to issue criminal record certificates to domestic individuals, at their request, except in cases defined by law, and this was defined as a mandatory content of the offer in the previous decision.

Therefore, the Draft Decision has been amended so that obtaining a certificate confirming that a domestic natural person has not been convicted by a final judgment for any of the following criminal offenses: criminal association, creation of a criminal organization, giving a bribe, receiving a bribe, tax and contribution evasion, fraud, money laundering, organized crime with elements of corruption, will be carried out by the JPMD.

"In the event that it is impossible to obtain the aforementioned certificate due to the fact that a domestic natural person has a criminal record for one of the listed criminal offenses, his bid will be considered invalid and will not be subject to evaluation," the decision states.

If the bidder is a foreign citizen, he/she is required to submit a certificate from the competent authority for keeping criminal records from his/her home country confirming that the individual has not been convicted of any of the listed criminal offenses, translated and certified by a court interpreter, not older than six months, original or certified photocopy.
