He also added that a National Monitoring Centre should be set up and that the Agency’s operation could profit from a possible amendment of the existing regulations.

Committee Chairperson Katarina Rakic suggested holding a sitting outside of the National Assembly seat on the state of play in the field and possible support to the establishment of the monitoring centre, as well as organizing public hearings on the topic in the coming period.
