Transparenstost srbija u pokretu

THE PRINCIPLES SERBIA ON THE MOVE DOES NOT COMPROMISE ON:

Principles given here are pre-condition for solving any social problem through launching a project or a campaign that Serbia on the Move implements independently, or in partnership with other organizations.

 

 1. Citizens’ support

The association requires written support from 1,000 citizens before implementing each project it initiates. If we cannot get that level of support, it is an indication that our citizens do not need that project or that we need to invest additional effort in explaining people why our idea is important.

 

 2. Community organizing (active citizens’ participation)

The realization of each of our projects and activities depends on direct involvement of citizens. If we cannot recruit volunteers, it means that such an activity is not needed in the our community.

So far, our recruitment was quite successful. The “I am not on the take, I work for the salary” campaign involved 300 volunteers, there were nearly 700 doctors who put the civil emblem on their uniform and signed the declaration of intent, and finally, 10 000 citizens signed the petition for the adoption of an Anti-Corruption Citizens Charter in the territory of Belgrade.

In expanding the campaign to the other cities in Serbia – Vranje, Užice, Zrenjanin, Subotica and Zaječar, we managed to recruit 30 volunteers per city in average. The campaign was successfully conducted in the first three cities where 3000 signatures for the adoption of the Anti-Corruption Citizens Charter were gathered (the Charter was meant to be put up in every community health center and provide the patients with the information on how to act against corruption). In these three cities, approximately 50% of the doctors declared themselves as not partaking in the corruption.

In the environmental action of Green April, supported by 530 tenants of Kralja Milutina street, there were 30 volunteers actively involved. The donations needed for buying a recycling container were collected from several different sources: through selling 450 kg of waste paper collected by the tenants of the street, donations totalling 70,000 RSD collected from the businesses in Kralja Milutina street, and 39,000 RSD was raised through a unique jewelry auction of the PeroArt Center and Serbia on the Move. The remaining funds needed to set up the recycling container were donated by the municipality of Vračar.

Raise the Ramp was a project conducted in partnership with the Accessibility Audit Association, the Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering in Belgrade. Five architectural designs for removal of architectural barriers were developed, as well as one study on transport safety which involved 27 volunteers up to this point. The action was supported by Parents’ councils of four Belgrade kindergartens, the Presidents of which were involved in the campaign as team leaders.

Serbia on the Move also uses social media intensively to bring attention to current social problems, and through their use it managed to mobilize more than 1000 people in the “Beat the corruption” campaign, as well as 950 people for the campaign titled “I’m a worker, not a slave.”

 

3. Transparency

All of our resources and expenditures are presented publicly and are available on our organization’s website under the section ‘Transparency’. If we were not able to publish this information, it would mean that we are not responsible enough to those who we exist for.

Serbia on the Move is one of the few organizations in Serbia, if not the only one, which receives a part of its funding through direct donations from the citizens who believe in our ideas and the changes we wish to create.

The Citizens’ Association Serbia on the Move is also funded through projects. Serbia on the Move submits project proposals to all donor agencies with open Calls, which comply with the principles of the Serbia on the Move.
