Vladan Kuzmanović outlines construction sector reforms

Vladan Kuzmanović, a candidate for the Studentska lista and professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, has announced a series of proposed measures to reform the construction sector. Key short-term goals include the suspension or alignment of special laws, known as “lex specialis,” with existing legal regulations to prevent private projects from being declared in the public interest.

Kuzmanović plans to establish an independent professional commission to review all public investments, with a requirement to report to the Government every three months. He stated that contracts for projects found to be overpriced, corrupt, or not in the public interest would be terminated, while other projects would continue.

Additional measures include the creation of a register for construction companies that have violated laws or professional rules. Such companies would be blacklisted from participating in projects financed by the state budget. The plan also includes the formation of a new Honor Court within the Serbian Chamber of Engineers.
