CONTRACTS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROGRAMS OF ORGANIZATIONS IN THE FIELD OF SPORTS WHICH ARE FINANCED FROM PUBLIC FUNDS

Abstract

According to the Law on Sports of the Republic of Serbia from 2016, sport is an activity of special importance for the Republic of Serbia. However, this does not mean that participants in the sports system have the right to have their sports activities and actions financed from public funds. The Republic of Serbia, the Autonomous Province and local government units finance the realization of the general interest and the satisfaction of the needs and interests of citizens in the field of sports exclusively by making contracts on specified program implementation with the program holders. The only exceptions are organizations founded by a certain public authority. In his paper, the author considers following issues: which programs can be the subject of a contract and whether their implementation provides services to a particular public authority; when a valid contract has been concluded and whether it must be concluded if the proposed program meets the legally prescribed conditions to be approved.
