We have sent urgent requests and inquiries, but to no avail… Even after 200 days, there has been no response from the Administrative Inspection regarding our initiative for conducting an inspection!
With our initiative, we requested oversight over the extension of acting appointments. The government, after noting the expiration of six-month mandates for acting officials, would renew these appointments for the same individuals during the same session, thus undermining the Law on Civil Servants and State Employees.
This situation confirms our conclusion that monitoring the work of inspection bodies within ministries is difficult, that they are not prompt in responding to submitted initiatives, complaints, and FOI requests.

The infographic is part of our efforts to strengthen the anti-corruption role of inspections, within the project Inspect to Protect: Turning Inspectorates Into Anti-Corruption Allies supported by the Embassy of the United States in Montenegro, the State Department’s Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL).
