This vacancy is open only for the applicants with the citizenship of or permanent residence in the Republic of Serbia.
Taking into account the needs for legal certainty in dealing with crypto-assets and harmonization with the global and European trends, the OSCE Mission to Serbia will support the Securities Commission of the Republic of Serbia (SEC) by assisting the regulatory process through engagement of an expert advice. The Securities Commission is participating (and taking a key role) in the Government's working group for regulation of crypto-assets. The draft Law that is currently being prepared by the working group is supposed to cover the regulatory aspects of crypto-asset related business operations, and the SEC is to be appointed as the competent authority regarding the implementation of the majority of the Law. The goal is to regulate the issuance of crypto-assets, as well as the provision of crypto-related services.
Crypto-assets are a new type of property, which need to be treated differently from both financial instruments on one side, and from fiat currencies on the other side. This practically means that the new statutory framework (which includes the new Law and the by-laws) will need to take into consideration the special position of the crypto-assets in the financial system, as well as risks inherently related to the technology underlying them. For this reason, the successful completion of the tasks of the SEC in regard to the Law drafting process would require the engagement of a consultant experienced with introducing new elements to the financial market, as the new framework needs to both tackle the (quite significant) risks without impeding development. Once the Draft Law is produced, the expert’s assistance is also needed in order to present the document to the general public.
