Transparency Serbia

An organisation that has been fighting in court since 2017 for the release of the Belgrade airport concession contract, which the state still keeps secret, and that analysed procurement for EXPO, finding that in 86 percent of cases the contract went to the only company with a valid bid. The Constitutional Court has still not considered its initiative against the special law after a year and a half. It estimated that TV advertising for the „United Serbia“ list in 2026 was worth €7.7 million, above the legal limit of six million euros for the entire campaign, and it called one procurement for the minister's sister „a staggering case of rigging“.
