Legal Committee

Aim of this cross-sectoral Committee is to advocate for improvement of the overall legal framework by closely monitoring the work of Serbian authorities and generating proposals for its improvement. As one of the most proactive committees, Legal Committee has developed a practice of organizing roundtables in order to present to the authorities FIC positions on specific draft laws or on the issues regarding implementation of the existing regulation.

Active since the establishment of FIC in 2002, Legal Committee has more than 60 members which means than one in two FIC members are engaged in the Committee.

Main priorities defined in Legal Committee Programme 2024-2026 are:

• Multisectoral Cooperation with other FIC committees:
