Corruption in the Serbian Judiciary
with Boris Begovic, Center for Liberal-Democratic Studies
Following the success of reform efforts sparked
by its groundbreaking work against corruption in the Serbian
customs administration, the Center for Liberal-Democratic
Studies (CLDS) is currently conducting a survey and in-depth
interviews on the judicial experience of both litigants and
court officials. These results provide some measure of the
magnitude of corruption in the Serbian judiciary as well as
the specific mechanisms of that corruption. The consequences
of judicial corruption can be demonstrated and provide solid
ground for formulating an action plan for combating corruption
in the Serbian judiciary.
Boris Begovic is vice president of the Center for Liberal-Democratic
Studies and professor of economics at the University of Belgrade’s
School of Law. He received his education at the University
of Belgrade, the London School of Economics, and Harvard University’s
Kennedy School of Government. His fields of expertise include
industrial organization, regulations, and the economic analysis
of law. Dr. Begovic, a chief economic adviser of the federal
government of Yugoslavia from 2000 to 2002, was involved in
negotiations with international financial institutions, WTO
accession, and foreign debt rescheduling. He took an active
part in governmental task forces on new legislation on telecommunications
and privatization in Serbia.
