TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL SERBIA
Mr Predrag Jovanovic, Ph.D., President

Dear Mr Jovanovic,

mr djelic's letter translated into englishIt was with pleasure that we received the information that a branch of the international organisation Transparency International had been established in Serbia. I extend my congratulations to you on being elected President and wish you a lot of success in your work.

The Government of the Republic of Serbia, as you know, has decided to embark on an all-out struggle against corruption and has confirmed its determination by passing its Resolution on Struggle against Corruption, which should form a basis for further specific actions to that end.

The Ministry of Finance and the Economy of the Republic of Serbia is interested in suppressing corruption in every domain, particularly in the sphere of public purchasing. Reforms in this area represent one of the priorities of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, in view of the fact that the system we have inherited is thoroughly inadequate and conducive to various forms of abuse. The Ministry of Finance and the Economy has initiated a process of reforms in the sphere of public purchasing, convinced that this will increase budget inflow, encourage foreign donors and investors, and make possible further development of the administration and the economy.

In order to realise these goals, the Ministry of Finance and the Economy is prepared to accept expert and other assistance from donor organisations, local and foreign expert groups and non-governmental organisations, particularly Transparency International, as a leading non-governmental organisation specialised in struggle against corruption.

Hoping to establish a successful mutual co-operation, I extend my cordial regards to you.

Yours respectfully,

MINISTER
