The Coordination Body reviewed and acknowledged the published work plans from the relevant inspection entities for the year 2025.

Additionally, the Coordination Body approved a standardized format for monthly report submissions, instructing all inspection services to submit their reports by the 10th of each month. This measure will facilitate timely insight into inspection activities and outcomes.

To boost the efficiency and effectiveness of inspections in the upcoming summer tourist season, the Coordination Body has decided to form a working group dedicated to this preparation. The main goal of this group is to ensure that the necessary conditions for comprehensive inspection oversight are in place throughout the summer period.

During the session, discussions included the implementation of the Unified Inspection Information System, tackling potential challenges and solutions to enhance the efficiency and operational capabilities of the relevant inspections. Representatives from the Ministry of Public Administration participated in this part of the meeting.

Milun Zogović, President of the Coordination Body, reiterated that the body, which was established on December 25, 2024, will actively oversee and evaluate the functions of all inspection services. This will be implemented through regular reviews of inspection agencies’ reports and oversight activities.

To facilitate this approach, we are instituting a requirement for monthly reporting, which will furnish continuous insights into the functioning of inspection services. With reliable data, we will be equipped to issue prompt recommendations and opinions regarding the organization and planning of inspection oversight at the Coordination Body level.
