The current state of inspection supervision and the impact of amendments to the Law on Inspection Supervision on the regular work of inspectors were the topics of the fourth meeting held within the project “Inspect to Protect: Turning Inspectorates Into Anti-Corruption Allies.”
On December 23rd, the Institute Alternative organised a meeting with representatives of inspection bodies, the judiciary, and institutions active in the fight against corruption, including the Anti-Corruption Agency and the State Audit Institution.
During the meeting, we presented the preliminary findings from our second review of the work of seven inspection bodies that we monitor. The analysis covers three inspections that, before the reorganisation of inspection bodies, operated within the Administration for Inspection Affairs – the Labor Inspectorate, the Public Procurement Inspectorate, and the Health and Sanitary Inspectorate, as well as four inspections that are part of ministries (the Administrative Inspectorate, the Budget Inspectorate, the Directorate for State Property Inspection Supervision, and the Urban Planning and Construction Inspectorate).
The goal of the meeting was to discuss the current state of inspection supervision, whether and how the reorganisation of inspections and amendments to the Law on Inspection Supervision have affected the regular work of inspectors, as well as the cooperation of inspections with other bodies and institutions to improve the fight against corruption.
The conclusions and recommendations from the meeting will be published later.
Photographs from the meeting are available here.
The meeting was organised 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).
