УПРАВНА ИНСПЕКЦИЈА У ПРАВНОМ СИСТЕМУ РЕПУБЛИКЕ СРБИЈЕ
ADMINISTRATIVE INSPECTION IN THE SERBIAN LEGAL SYSTEM

Summary/Abstract: The new Administrative Inspection Act was published on 21st November 2011 and became effective on 29th November 2011. The legal relations in this field used to be regulated by a special legislative act which was adopted in 1975 but ceased to be effective after enacting the 2005 State Administration Act. Given the fact that the Serbian legal system is currently being reformed in line with the social needs of the Republic of Serbia and in compliance with the EU legislation, the jurisdiction of administrative inspections has been extended to include an ever- increasing number of legal areas and relations. Thus, for example, apart from special legislative acts which defined the standard scope of authorities of administrative inspection (such as: the Civil Servants Act and the Act on Labor Relations in State Authorities), there are also some new legislative acts which regulate a new scope of authorities (such as: the Act on Free Access to Information of Public Interest, the Act on Volunteering, the Act on the Prevention of Mobbing at Work, the Act on Register Books, etc. As the number of legal subjects included in the mandatory administrative inspection has increased as a result of the process of harmonizing our legal system with the EU regulations, the scope of administrative inspection activities has changed and expended accordingly. Thus, the adoption of the Administrative Inspection Act (2011) is significant because it has provided a legal framework which comprehensively regulates the exercise of administrative activities, the process of monitoring the work of state administration and public authorities/officials, the protection and safety assurance of the administrative authorities’ position in performing their state administration activities; this legislative act also makes provisions for securing the legality, efficiency and effectiveness of administration activities.
