REPORT from the monitoring and research of environment-related public procurements to detect corruption risks

The right to discretionary proceeding in terms of implementation of environmental protection standards most certainly provides fertile ground for external influences and, accordingly, for corruption. At the same time, having in mind the limited resources disposed by the state, especially in respect to environment protection, it is of particular importance to, first, observe how environment-related public procurements are implemented and, second, to determine whether their implementation is in line with the Law on Public Procurements and whether these procurements are affected by serious corruptive influences.
