The Government of the Republic of Serbia established the Coordination Body for monitoring the implementation of the Strategy for the Social Inclusion of Roma in the Republic of Serbia for the period 2016 – 2025. This Coordination Body examines all issues and coordinates the work performed by public administration bodies, local self-government units, public companies and all other types of government and local self-government organisations regarding the tasks performed within their scope which are connected to the social inclusion of the Roma community. Dr. Zorana Mihajlović, the Deputy Prime Minister, and the Minister of Construction, Transport, and Infrastructure was appointed as the President of the Coordination Body.

As the operational support for the Coordination Body, an Expert Group was established; this Group is responsible for all tasks related to the current issues concerning the social inclusion of the Roma community. The Chairman of the Expert Group is Mr. Miodrag Poledica, the State Secretary in the Ministry of Construction, Transport, and Infrastructure. Apart from the representatives from the public administration, the Group includes the representatives from the National Council of Roma National Minority and civil society organisations. Representatives from other bodies and organisations can become involved in the performance of specific tasks of the Group, depending on the needs and the topics which are in focus at that time.
