The complexity of the public procurement system

The public procurement system in the Republic of Serbia involves a range of institutions that participate in specific stages of the process.

The Serbian public procurement system involves several institutions in the procurement process and knowing the competencies and methods of each individual institution is crucial to the success of any project. In addition, familiarity with the practices of the relevant institutions, and a good working knowledge of judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Union Public Procurement Directive is often a key factor of success in public procurement proceedings.
