Serbia poses danger to international financial system

On this list Serbia has been found for the first time in February of this year, and despite claims by Serbian government representatives that, in the meantime, the FAFT recommendations have been met, after reviewing in June of this year and now in October, it has remained on this list, Serbia still further poses a danger to the international financial system.

The black “list has already left Iraq, Vanuatu, while Serbia is still in company with Ethiopia, Ghana, Syria, Pakistan...

In the latest FAFT report, which was published on October 19th, Serbia is on the list of 11 high risk nations of terrorism financing and money laundering.

Under “the monitoring of this international organisation Serbia is set in February 2018. At the end of June The FATF has revised the list of countries which pose risks to the international financial system, after which Iraq and Vanatou were removed from this list, but not Serbia.

As in February, for the first time, news came out that Serbia is in the black “list”, the government's reaction was silence. Insider has written that Anna Benabiqi's cabinet has prevented ministers from commenting on this. It is in a proposal for this media instead of the answer to the question posed, there are “underestimated” that this decision is politically motivated, and that the US is the ones who have insisted on adopting this report.

On the other side of Serbia's People's Bank Governor Georgevanka Tabakovic has said that the reason for which Serbia has been found on this list is misuse of official duties by Serbian officials, as well as the delivery of money through various banking ties in this country.
