Project GREAT – DECREASING CORRUPTION RISKS IN SERBIAS’ MIGRATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The project is implemented by Group 484 and ASTRA, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands within the Dutch development/foreign policy.
The project will be implemented on the territory of the Republic of Serbia from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2025.
The project deals with the problem of corruption and organised crime in the migration management system, with a focus on migrant smuggling and human trafficking. The fight against corruption, organised crime, and migration management are key pillars of Cluster 1, in chapters 23 and 24 of accession negotiations with the European Union, as well as in strengthening the rule of law, democratisation, and the responsibility of institutions. The risk of corruption in the integrated border management system is also recognised in the Revised Action Plan for EU Accession within Chapter 24.
The overall project goal is to contribute to the democratisation and development of the rule of law and an independent legal system, as a response of the Government and citizens of Serbia to the necessity of reducing the risk of corruption and organised crime in the migration management system, intending to preserve the conditions of the visa-free regime that Serbia has with EU countries.
