The Working Group charged with selecting the most favourable bidder to perform external audits of final balances of the budgets of the Republic of Serbia for 2002 and 2003 today held its first working meeting.

As the Act on the Budget System foresees that the National Assembly should decide on hiring appropriately qualified auditors to perform external audits of final balances of the budget, the Finance Committee formed a Working Group at its session held on 13 September, to select an external auditor.

At today’s meeting, the Working Group, made up of members of the Finance Committee, agreed that deputy Sanja Cekovic should be its co-ordinator, and also agreed on the timescale of future activities.
