Inicijativu za pokretanje postupka za ocenu ustavnosti i zakonitosti
Koalicija za nadzor javnih finansija i Transparentost Srbija podneli su Ustvanom sudu Republike Srbije Inicijativu za pokretanje postupka za ocenu ustavnosti i zakonitosti Zakona o podsticanju građevinske industrije Republike Srbije u uslovima ekonomske krize (Službeni glasnik RS, br. 45/10), koji je nedavno usvojila Skupština Srbije.
DRŽAVNI PODSTICAJ KORUPCIJE
Koalicija za nadzor javnih finansija i Transparentost Srbija podneli su Ustvanom sudu Republike Srbije Inicijativu za pokretanje postupka za ocenu ustavnosti i zakonitosti Zakona o podsticanju građevinske industrije Republike Srbije u uslovima ekonomske krize (Službeni glasnik RS, br. 45/10), koji je nedavno usvojila Skupština Srbije.
Odredbe ovog zakona u direktnoj su suprotnosti sa Ustavom Republike Srbije, Zakonom o javnim nabavkama, Sporazumom o slobodnoj trgovini u centralnoj Evropi – CEFTA 2006 i Sporazumom o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju.
Suspendovanje nekih od najznačajnih odredaba Ustava Srbije, Zakona o javnim nabavkama, SSP-a i CEFTA sporazuma, kojima se obezbeđuju transparentost procedura, jednak pravni položaj svih ponuđača i poštovanje principa konkurencije, predstavlja otvoren poziv na korupciju, koji je upućen i podržan od strane najviših državnih institucija.
Koalicija za nadzor javnih finansija i Transparentnost Srbija smatraju da predlaganje i usvajanje pomenutog zakona predstavlja pravno – politički skandal, udar na Ustav i osnovne sistemske zakone, narušavanje jedinstvenosti pravnog poretka i grubo ugrožavanje međunarodnog kredibiliteta zemlje.
Vlada, Skupština i Predsednik Srbije nisu dobili mandat od građana da promovišu korupciju i van snage stavljaju Ustav Srbije i ratifikovane međunarodne sporazume, niti da u pitanje dovode evropsku budućnost zemlje. Podsećamo da su građani Srbije na prošlim izborima većinsku podršku dali upravo politici evropskih integracija i borbe protiv korupcije, kakvu je tada zagovarala danas vladajuća koalicija.
Koalicija za nadzor javnih finansija i Transparentost Srbija pozivaju Ustavni sud Republike Srbije da prihvati Inicijativu, obustavi primenu Zakona o podsticanju građevinske industrije Republike Srbije u uslovima ekonomske krize i donese odluku kojom se ovaj štetan i korupcionaški zakon proglašava neustavnim i stavlja van pravne snage. Smatramo da je to jedini način da se zaštiti interes građana Srbije i Ustavom garantovano ekonomsko uređenje koje „počiva na tržišnoj privredi, otvorenom i slobodnom tržištu, slobodi preduzetništva, samostalnosti privrednih subjekata i ravnopravnosti privatne i drugih oblika svojine“.
