Zloupotrebe i netransparentnost unutar sistema plaćanja advokata po službenoj dužnosti u Bosni i Hercegovini ali i regionu, razlog je zašto se Helsinški dobor za ljudska prava u RS zajedno sa partnerima iz Srbije, Makedonije, Albanije i Kosova uključio u projekat „Unapređenje sistema pravne zaštite optuženih“.

Projekat se primarno bavi advokatima koji se mogu pojaviti kao branioci po službenoj dužnosti pred sudovima, kao i one nevladine organizacije koje djeluju u oblasti reforme pravosuđa i vladavine prava, sa ciljem da se doprinese unapređenju sistema pravne zaštite kroz transparentan sistem imenovanja, plaćanja i odabira advokata.

O samom projektu, ciljevima i očekivanim rezultatima za Radio Slobodnu Evropu govorili su: Branko Todorović, izvršni direktor; Aleksandra Letić, menadžerica progama i Tamara Zrnović, koordinatorica projekta.
