Description
This opportunity, offered by the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) of the U.S. Department of State, seeks applications from organizations to develop and implement a software-based, weighted random case-allocation system for public prosecutor offices in Serbia. The goal is to minimize selective prosecution and political interference in the handling of transnational organized crime (TCO) and money laundering cases. The project will create a transparent, automated case allocation framework, provide training, and support institutional reforms to promote fairness, efficiency, and integrity in Serbia’s prosecution service.
The project responds to a request from Serbia’s High Prosecutorial Council and aims to strengthen the rule of law, improve prosecution outcomes in extradition and high-level corruption cases, and support U.S. national security interests in the region.
