DIGI-SYNC Serbia: Let's accelerate the harmonization of regulations with EU standards in the governance of digital platforms
01Nov2023

The project "DIGI-SYNC Serbia: Let's accelerate the harmonization of regulations with EU standards in the governance of digital platforms" aims to strengthen the role of civil society organizations in supporting Serbia's accession process to the European Union in the field of competition with a focus on regulating food delivery digital platforms.

Through this project, the Public Policy Research Center seeks to initiate a discussion on this issue and propose practical measures to resolve legal gaps in this area, in accordance with Serbia's obligations under the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) and the European integration process itself. Adequate regulation of digital platforms would contribute to more transparent market conditions for the potential entry of new players into this fast-growing sector and contribute to the creation of more favorable conditions for the creation of a greater number of high-quality jobs in this sector.

The objectives of the project include 1) increasing the influence of CSOs in finding solutions and advocating for the regulation of digital platforms in accordance with European legislation, 2) Enhancing dialogue among representatives of state administration, non-governmental organizations, experts, businesses, trade unions, and professional associations regarding improving competition in the food delivery digital platform market in the context of Serbia's accession to the European Union, 3) Informing the public about the importance of regulating the legal status of food delivery digital platforms as market actors and creators of new forms of work in line with European regulations.

Svetlana Đurđević Lukić Fund: HUMAN SECURITY FOR THE NEW CENTURY

Uncertainty and vulnerability of the individual in the 21st century is the focus of CENTAR’s Human Security Programme. Building on foundations set by the recently departed co-founder and longtime director of CENTAR, Svetlana Đurđević Lukić, CENTAR regards security as a human right and advocates for construing a society in which every individual will have opportunities to reach their potential. Svetlana had a talent of pioneering the introduction of many topics – primarily concerned with the security of vulnerable groups – into security discourse within Serbia. Fostering this approach, starting from 2016, CENTAR, as part of its foundation named after the late Svetlana, holds a competition with the goal of inspiring young researchers to examine modern day threats.
