Rodoljub Sabic (Beta/Milan Obradovic)
The attorney Rodoljub Sabic told BETA on Aug. 23 that the increasingly frequent moves by public institutions and government agencies that violate, dodge or defeat laws relevant to them and their operation are turning public institutions, which should be stable and functional, into sterile, fluid improvisations.
"The last in a series of examples showing this was the proceeding to pick the director of the Serbian Broadcasting Corporation," said Sabic, formerly the commissioner for information of public importance and personal data protection.
"First, the rule obligating the Board of Directors to call a contest no later than three months before the term of the current director expires was removed," he said, and "then the current director was made acting director, only to finally, after pointless systematic heel-dragging, publish a contest, which has just ended without a result."
According to him, "a fresh, dramatic example of the derisive attitude to the law was recently provided by the government of Serbia," which directly violated the Law on the government (Article 17) by continuing to appoint, in direct contravention of what the law permits a "technical" cabinet, administrators (state secretaries, assistant ministers, directors, etc.) in ministries.
