Taking into account that corruption occurs only if the system is vulnerable to such phenomenon, it is crucial to determine mechanisms within the institutions that enable corrupt behavior. We attempted to improve transparency, accessibility and accountability of public administration through implementation of a comprehensive methodology for fighting corruption at the local level, which includes active civil society and implementation of innovative strategies. Bearing in mind the results of the implemented anti-corruption interventions, interest and participation of citizens, organizations and institutions at the round tables, promotional campaign, as well as visits and reviews at the anti-corruption internet platform, it can be concluded that the project has improved understanding of the problem of corruption, as well as citizens’ awareness on the role and responsibilities of the institutions responsible for the fight against corruption.

To determine the existing obstacles, Partners Serbia conducted a base-line assessment of the mediation program in Kraljevo. The aim of this assessment report is to inform and shape an implementation strategy to overcome those obstacles, resulting in a well-functioning, high-quality mediation program. Partners Serbia’s is now implementing a strategy that responds to the results of the assessment to improve the effectiveness of the Kraljevo Mediation Center.
