At yesterday's session, the government approved the Bill on Amendments to the Law on Inspection Supervision, which is a prelude to the abolition of the Directorate for Inspection Affairs and an attempt to put inspection affairs under party control, said member of the DPS Presidency and MP Nikola Rakočević.

"In this way, this administrative body will be disbanded and the inspections will be returned to the line ministries, thus strengthening the centralist system and the direct influence of the ministers in relation to the inspections. So instead of the inspection bodies being independent and independent in their work, they will be the target of political influence which the parties will achieve through the ministers they have in the government," Rakočević said.

He states that the Directorate for Inspection Affairs, which has 320 employees, had great support from the EU in the previous period, especially in the establishment of a single information system that enabled several related inspections to participate in joint action.

"According to the new proposed solution, this will not be possible and will affect the results that the inspectors need to achieve. From year to year, the number of fines imposed and the flow of money into the budget on this basis is constantly growing. This new solution proposed by the Spajić government was done ad hoc without prior analysis that would demonstrate the justification of such drastic changes. Bodies are abolished and formed without mandatory prior analysis, consultation with the EC, which once again confirms the state of affairs in the field of public administration and the civil service system in Montenegro, and citizens become hostages of the experiments that the Government conducts on them Rakočević said.
