Deficiencies Of The Legislative Framework Of The Public Procurement In Serbia

Summary/Abstract: Public procurement is very important for the public adminis- tration both in terms of its successful day-to-day functioning and the amount of public expenditure. Public procurement is also a fertile ground for corruption as government bodies can find vari- ous ways of misusing discretion when inviting and conducting tenders. The discretion cannot be entirely removed, however, it can be considerably curbed by means of various legislative and institutional solutions. The author analyses the current legislative framework in Serbia and concludes that it does not sufficiently reduce the possibility of misuse in public procurement proce- dures. The paper also offers, on the basis of the findings of polit- ical science about the forms of control over the work of public administration and of the best regulatory practices in the EU, solutions how to improve the protection of public interests by improving the legislative and institutional framework in Serbia. The author concludes that not only should new and different forms of control be introduced, but their work should be coordi- nated as well, and the work of the judiciary on the processing of corruption in public procurement improved.
