BIRODI demands verification of Vu\u010di\u0107&#8217;s name on the electoral list!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bureau for Social Research (BIRODI) announced today that the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption should investigate whether the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107, by accepting that his name be part of the title of the electoral list and to be first on that list, violated Article 40 of the Law on Prevention of Corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BIRODI stated that the competencies of the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) and the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption must be separated, assessing that RIK&#8217;s actions regarding the electoral list do not resolve the issue of possible violations of anti-corruption regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As stated, Article 40, Paragraph 1 of the Law on Prevention of Corruption prohibits a public official from subordinating the public interest to a private interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BIRODI believes that in this case it should be investigated whether party, i.e. political interest represented a private interest of a public official and whether the authority and public recognizability of the office of the President of the Republic were used to achieve political benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is not a question of Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107&#8217;s right to be politically active. That right is not in dispute,&#8221; BIRODI stated, adding that the question is whether a public official can put their authority gained by performing a public function into the service of achieving party and electoral interests while simultaneously holding the office of President of the Republic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BIRODI pointed out that private interest should not be reduced solely to money or material benefit, stating that political influence, electoral success, increasing support for an electoral list, strengthening a political position, and the benefit of a political organization represent political benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"iidA4dPWOO\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/objavljena-nova-atp-lista-pogledajte-gde-je-novak-djokovic-nakon-zavrsetka-poslednjeg-grend-slema-u-sezoni\/\">OBJAVLJENA NOVA ATP LISTA: Pogledajte gde je Novak \u0110okovi\u0107 nakon zavr\u0161etka poslednjeg grend slema u sezoni!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;

is the question that BIRODI requests the Agency to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BIRODI stated that it submitted a report to the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption and assessed that its failure to act would represent a failure to examine the boundary between public function and party interest, i.e., between the state and a political party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organization added that inaction by the Agency, its director, and the Council, according to its assessment, entails criminal liability under the Criminal Code of Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/we-wont-let-them-treat-us-like-tourists-drivers-from-bih-serbia-montenegro-and-macedonia-to-protest-tomorrow-threaten-border-blockades-if-brussels-does-not-back-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cWE WON\u2019T LET THEM TREAT US LIKE TOURISTS\u201d: Drivers from BiH, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia to protest tomorrow, threaten border blockades if Brussels does not back down!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/with-the-money-of-citizens-who-have-no-water-cacak-spent-two-million-on-a-breskvica-concert-but-only-around-60-people-attended\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WITH THE MONEY OF CITIZENS WHO HAVE NO WATER: \u010ca\u010dak spent two million on a Breskvica concert, but only around 60 people attended!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/new-blow-to-education-government-preparing-a-law-that-will-punish-everyone-teachers-could-lose-their-licenses-while-students-could-be-transferred-out-of-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NEW BLOW TO EDUCATION: Government preparing a law that will punish everyone \u2013 teachers could lose their licenses, while students could be transferred out of school!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-medal-serbia-had-been-waiting-seven-years-for-marko-finishes-second-at-the-world-rowing-championships-silver-shining-like-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE MEDAL SERBIA HAD BEEN WAITING SEVEN YEARS FOR: Marko finishes second at the World Rowing Championships, silver shining like gold!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/human-and-sporting-greatness-dokovic-sends-powerful-words-to-one-of-his-greatest-rivals-on-his-induction-into-the-hall-of-fame-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HUMAN AND SPORTING GREATNESS: \u0110okovi\u0107 sends powerful words to one of his greatest rivals on his induction into the Hall of Fame!
