On January 26th, Institute Alternative held a meeting with representatives of the Budget Inspection in order to establish cooperation and gain a better understanding of their everyday work.
During the meeting, we discussed our findings regarding the work of the Budget Inspection, the process of planning supervision, and the development of the annual work programme.
We also discussed initiatives we addressed to the Budget inspection, the staffing capacity of the inspection for conducting supervision, as well as legal mechanisms available to inspectors in the fight against corruption.
The meeting was held within the Project “Procurement under spotlight – Making Watchdogs Work!”, which Institute Alternative conducts with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Serbia and Montenegro within the MATRA Rule of Law program. Project aims to empower and motivate watchdogs to combat corruption and undue influence in public procurement.
