The participants are discussing the implementation of the EU budget and the role of the European Parliament in passing the long-term EU budget, as well as the parliamentary control of its implementation, with a special focus on the part of the budget intended for financial support programmes for EU candidate countries and advancing the transparency of IPA funds.

Speaking of budget control in Serbia, Dubravka Filipovski said that the procedure involves internal and external budget implementation controls conducted by the Ministry of Finance and the State Audit Institution. Filipovski emphasized the importance of the financial support programmes for the Western Balkans, hoping the funds allocated for the purpose would be increased in the coming budget period.

The conference was headed by Ingeborg Grassle, Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Budgetary Control, and the participants also attended a session of the Committee dedicated to cooperation with the Office of the European Public Prosecutor and OLAF efficiency.
