Today's election of five members of the Council of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) represents a key step that confirms our commitment in the fight against corruption and the improvement of transparency and independence in all spheres of society, said Democrat MP and Vice President of the Anti-Corruption Committee Momčilo Leković.

"Dear citizens, after we started reforms in almost all institutions, the time has finally come, after several years of disastrous management and exactly one year since the Prevention Agency has no Council and its supervisory and control body, to return independence, integrity and shaky reputation.

I want to take this opportunity as the Vice President of the Anti-corruption Committee and a member of the Commission that determined the list of candidates to congratulate the new members of the Council on their election and wish them much success in performing their important and responsible duties," said Leković in a statement sent to the media.

He expressed his belief that with their professional work and commitment, the new members of the Council will contribute to the strengthening of this institution and citizens' trust in the system itself.

"I thank everyone who supported this process, and I believe that our parliamentary committee and the now functional Council of the Agency will actively cooperate in the fight against corruption, and work together to build a society based on justice, honesty and responsibility," concluded Leković.
