CINS team worked on these stories for eight months and submitted more than 200 FOIA requests, in order to collect relevant data and information on processing corruption in Serbian judiciary. This was the first investigation of this type in Serbia. You can read the stories <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cins.rs\/srpski\/projects\/theme\/pravosudje\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cins.rs\/srpski\/projects\/theme\/prove-and-improve\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a>.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tFight against corruption and organized crime, although highlighted as a priority by every government in the last ten or so years, boils down in practice to media announcements and arrests on camera. These are followed through with a flurry of criminal charges, but indictments are then in short supply and guilty verdicts are few and far between. Even when a verdict is handed down, suspended sentences seem to be the order of the day.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tThe preparatory committee noted that CINS stories are: \u201cA testimony to the work of really good, really digging reporters serving their community.\u201d <br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tBesides CINS, in the investigative reporting category nominees are:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanpressprize.com\/article\/anabolics-mafia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anabolics mafia<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanpressprize.com\/article\/panama-papers-secrets-dirty-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Panama Papers \u2013 The Secrets of Dirty Money<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanpressprize.com\/article\/dark-money-londons-dirty-secret\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dark money: London\u2019s Dirty Secret<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanpressprize.com\/article\/babies-for-sale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Babies for Sale<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanpressprize.com\/article\/mapping-weapons-terror\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mapping the Weapons of Terror<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanpressprize.com\/article\/misuse-eu-funds-messerschmidts-foundations-investigated-fraud\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Misuse of EU funds: Messerschmidt\u2019s foundations investigated for fraud<\/a>.<br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tYou can see all other nominees <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europeanpressprize.com\/awards\/european-press-prize-shortlist-2017\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a>. <br \/>\n\t<br \/>\n\tWinners will be announced at the ceremony in Amsterdam, on April 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia is among the candidates in the category of investigative reporting, for a series of articles on corruption and organized crime<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1327,"featured_media":16392,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1586,1497],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards-and-other-recognitions","category-news","ciTrackContent"],"acf":[],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/1488467814~~EPP.png","author_additional":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1327"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19906"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19906\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22217,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19906\/revisions\/22217"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cins.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
