The project “Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Serbia” delivered a training on the use of an analytical software to the staff of the Agency for Prevention of Corruption on 28 – 30 June 2021, in Belgrade. During the training, participants gained essential knowledge about the software and its practical usage. The Agency is in charge of keeping and updating register of asset and income declarations of public officials and verification with data contained in other public records. The Law on Prevention of Corruption has provided the Agency with competence to directly access data kept by the public bodies upon request. The Agency will use the software in its analytical work, in particular for the verification of asset declarations submitted by public officials, as well as for the control of financing of political parties. In continuation of the cooperation with the Agency for Prevention of Corruption, the project will provide advice for the software’s integration with the existing databases maintained and used by the Agency and in addition, enhance inter-agency cooperation on verification of asset declarations.

The Project “Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing in Serbia” is funded by Sweden, represented by the Swedish International Development Agency and implemented by the Council of Europe.
