A NEW, FOURTH CALL FOR THE ALLOCATION OF FUNDS BASED ON THE POSTPONEMENT OF CRIMINAL PROSECUTION ISSUED

17. April 2019.

The Ministry of Justice issued a new public call for the allocation of funds collected on the basis of postponement of criminal prosecution (opportunity), while the total amount envisaged for the allocation is 470 million dinars.

Those interested in participating in the public call should submit their applications in a written form within 20 days of the publication of the competition in the "Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia".  

All those in charge of running the projects in the field of public interest (healthcare, culture, education, humanitarian work ...) have the right to participate in the call, while the proposal on the distribution of funds is made by the Commission of the Ministry of Justice made up of representatives of the relevant institutions.  

The criteria for evaluating the projects, the manner of filing applications and the deadline in which they are to be submitted, as well as the necessary documentation for participating in the call, are published on the website of the Ministry of Justice.    

Since 2016, the Ministry of Justice has issued three public calls for the allocation of funds on the basis of opportunity, and in the course of three years it has allocated more than 1,148 billion dinars for almost 300 projects of public interest.  All previous users of funds from the previous three calls can be found on the website of the Ministry of Justice.  

This method of allocating funds introduced transparency into the distribution procedure, which is specified by the amendments to the 2014 Criminal Procedure Code, in accordance with the National Anti-Corruption Strategy for the 2013-2018 period.
