The authors analyze the position and competencies of local ombudsmen in the Republic of Serbia, which exist in 22 cities and municipalities. They argue that the basic problem for the slow expansion of this institution can be found in its non-mandatory character and unwillingness of local political elites to be subjected to independent oversight in their work. This problem can be overcome by adopting a separate Law on Local Ombudsmen, which would systemically regulate their mandatory status, the procedure they conduct, as well as ensure further guarantees of their independence, in particular those of financial nature.
