[00:00:20] Good evening, you are watching N1 news, I am Maja Žeželj, this is the story
[00:00:24] of the day.
[00:00:28] Part of the list of pardoned individuals by former President
[00:00:31] Aleksandar Vučić has been published, among them
[00:00:34] Dijana Hrkalović, Miloš Pavlović, who is on trial
[00:00:38] for the attempted murder of Sonja Ponjavić, and many
[00:00:41] thugs. This has nothing to do with a legal
[00:00:45] state.
[00:00:48] And these are the other news topics in
[00:00:50] the news.
[00:00:54] Businessman Davor Macura, owner of the closed
[00:00:58] Alta bank, was arrested for the execution of more than 380
[00:01:02] million euros from the bank's treasury.
[00:01:05] He will be brought before the competent prosecutor
[00:01:09] tomorrow, as we were told in the
[00:01:11] afternoon.
[00:01:14] How did Usame Zukorlić's party win 53
[00:01:17] votes in the repeat elections, when they got none
[00:01:21] last week? And how did the residents of the village of Glogovica vote
[00:01:24] for a man they don't even recognize in
[00:01:27] a picture? Usame Zukorlić. And only Gučeković,
[00:01:31] good
[00:01:31] Malović,
[00:01:36] arrests have also started for vote buying, as
[00:01:39] well as for false registration of residence in exchange for
[00:01:42] voting, and what it looked like in
[00:01:46] prisons, there are people who saved, believing that
[00:01:50] a day of change would come and as they say, a day
[00:01:52] of accountability.
[00:01:55] Overcast, rainy and cold in the coming days, in the mountains may...
[00:02:00] Snow.
[00:02:05] More than a month after former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić
[00:02:09] announced that on the penultimate day of his mandate he pardoned
[00:02:12] 49 people, we also learned their names,
[00:02:16] at least a certain number. For now, the High Courts in
[00:02:20] Novi Sad and
[00:02:23] Belgrade have published the identity
[00:02:25] of 23 pardoned persons, as well as the criminal offenses
[00:02:29] they are charged with. Of these, five are on the list of the
[00:02:32] Belgrade University,
[00:02:35] eighteen are on the records
[00:02:37] of Novi Sad.
[00:02:42] And that's why we're going to our N1 reporters in Belgrade
[00:02:45] and Novi Sad. In front of the Palace of Justice is N1 reporter
[00:02:49] Nenad Nešić, in front of the building of the Novi Sad court
[00:02:52] is our Ina Džakula. Nenad, what
[00:02:55] do we know so far, who was pardoned?
[00:03:03] Well, Maja, the High Court in Belgrade received the list of pardoned individuals from
[00:03:07] the Ministry of Justice, and I will immediately say at the beginning that the same Ministry
[00:03:10] of Justice that at the end of September said that it had practically nothing to do with that
[00:03:14] personal initiative of the former president Aleksandar Vučić,
[00:03:18] that they don't know who is on the list and that they will not participate in this
[00:03:21] pardon procedure, however, with a delay of a little over a month,
[00:03:25] the list with the names of five people arrived. Of these, four
[00:03:29] people were released from criminal prosecution, and one
[00:03:32] person from further serving a prison sentence, and somehow
[00:03:36] immediately two names stand out, Dijana Hrkalović and
[00:03:39] Marko Pavlović. As for Dijana Hrkalović, we know,
[00:03:43] she is the former state secretary in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, mandate
[00:03:46] 2017-2019, so during the time of Minister
[00:03:50] Nebojša Stefanović, she was actually criminally prosecuted for the act
[00:03:54] of influence peddling, more precisely for obstructing numerous police
[00:03:58] investigations, somehow, first of all, I would like to emphasize the murder
[00:04:02] of Vlastimir Milošević, that famous murder on the tracks in
[00:04:05] 2017, the prosecution sought a prison sentence
[00:04:08] of five years for her at the beginning of last year, she was indeed sentenced to
[00:04:12] a prison sentence of 16 months, but the appeal court in the meantime
[00:04:16] overturned that verdict and ordered a retrial which
[00:04:19] will definitely not happen. As for Marko Pavlović, we know him
[00:04:23] as the driver who in January of last year
[00:04:26] 2025, drove his
[00:04:29] car into students in Ruzvaltova Street who at
[00:04:32] that moment were observing 16 minutes of silence for the victims
[00:04:36] of the canopy collapse, specifically he hit student
[00:04:40] Sonja Ponjavić with his car and on that occasion inflicted serious bodily injuries. He was
[00:04:43] criminally prosecuted for the act of attempted aggravated
[00:04:46] murder and in just four days a verdict was supposed to be
[00:04:50] pronounced, so on November 6th, but the verdict
[00:04:53] will not be pronounced now. In the first reaction to N1 television, Ratko
[00:04:57] Ponjavić, father of student Sonja Ponjavić. Ponjavić said that this
[00:05:01] news brought him, I quote, into a state of shock, that he is
[00:05:04] currently beside himself. As for the others on the list, there is also
[00:05:08] Dragana Živadinović, former president of the High Court in
[00:05:11] Niš, she was charged with abuse of official
[00:05:14] position, forgery of official documents, and was arrested back
[00:05:18] at the end of 2023. Then Nebojša
[00:05:21] Đokić who was criminally prosecuted for money laundering,
[00:05:24] finally Miloš Dugalić, the only one from this
[00:05:27] list who was serving a prison sentence,
[00:05:31] so he was pardoned, and he submitted that request for pardon at the end
[00:05:35] of August, so recently, and that is the list as far as the High Court
[00:05:39] in Belgrade is concerned, and a specific name from this list.
[00:05:42] Dijana Hrkalović was commented on by our colleague Miloš Ž Lazić from
[00:05:46] the Nova.RS portal, here's what he said: This
[00:05:50] pardon of Dijana Hrkalović is a slap in the face to
[00:05:53] the state of Serbia, the people of Serbia, and the institutions of Serbia, because
[00:05:57] the woman was accused of influence peddling, meaning
[00:06:01] the former state secretary, the former state secretary of
[00:06:04] the Ministry of Internal Affairs who came there to discipline, that's the beginning
[00:06:07] of disciplining the police, meaning all these loyalists who surfaced,
[00:06:11] their avant-garde. Where was Dijana Hrkalović who kicked open
[00:06:14] doors, meaning she ruled and commanded, staffed the
[00:06:18] Ministry of Internal Affairs and was involved in some serious criminal acts, meaning where she influenced
[00:06:22] and you pardon that person, that's
[00:06:24] a message to all thugs, all
[00:06:28] pickpockets, all hooligans, feel free to
[00:06:31] beat, kill, kidnap, your
[00:06:34] leader is there to protect you, meaning this has nothing to do with a legal
[00:06:37] state. Now let's go to Novi Sad
[00:06:41] in front of the court. Here is our Ina
[00:06:43] Džakula, Ina, more people were pardoned in Novi
[00:06:47] Sad, we heard, among them are also
[00:06:49] thugs.
[00:06:54] That's right, Maja, so, according to the announcement of the High Court
[00:06:57] in Novi Sad, a total of
[00:07:00] 18 people against whom criminal proceedings were initiated
[00:07:03] before this court, so Aleksandar Vučić pardoned
[00:07:07] people before he resigned from
[00:07:10] the position of president of the republic.
[00:07:14] And these are the following people, so first there is the prominent SNS
[00:07:17] activist Gorski Matović who was pardoned for the criminal offense
[00:07:21] of violent behavior at a public gathering or event, I would
[00:07:25] remind you, so, it is about a person who participated in
[00:07:28] the incident from February of this year in front of the Serbian
[00:07:32] National Theater when citizens and students organized a protest and when
[00:07:36] students, but many media teams were attacked, besides
[00:07:39] him, Eles was also pardoned
[00:07:43] for the criminal offense of receiving bribes, it is actually
[00:07:46] about an orthopedist from the Clinical Center of Vojvodina who was
[00:07:49] arrested back in 2020.
[00:07:52] What is also memorable for the residents of Novi Sad, at least,
[00:07:55] is the four men who were accused of
[00:07:58] the Porsche case, as it was called here in Novi Sad.
[00:08:01] Namely, it is actually about an incident, as early
[00:08:05] as 2024. At the end of that year, so
[00:08:09] citizens had an action for... stop Serbia when they
[00:08:12] stopped, that is, held
[00:08:15] a commemoration for all those who died in the collapse
[00:08:19] of the canopy on the road at the intersection near the Futoška market,
[00:08:23] at that time a Porsche car tried to pass
[00:08:26] through that gathered group of people, and then
[00:08:30] four men got out, attacked the citizens and physically
[00:08:34] assaulted them. All four
[00:08:36] men were actually accused of the criminal
[00:08:40] offense of violent behavior in a public group. Two of those
[00:08:44] four men were also accused of
[00:08:47] the criminal offense of inflicting serious bodily harm, and one
[00:08:51] person, in addition to all that, was also accused of the criminal offense
[00:08:54] of causing general danger. We can say
[00:08:58] that a group of people that in some way stands out from this list
[00:09:01] is certainly that Novi Sad twelve, it is about
[00:09:05] activists who were
[00:09:08] against whom, let's say, criminal proceedings were initiated for
[00:09:11] preparing an act against the constitutional order, so, they
[00:09:15] were suspected, that is, charged with the criminal offense
[00:09:19] of attacking the constitutional order, violent calling
[00:09:22] for violent change of the constitution, they were therefore
[00:09:25] specifically pardoned, I must mention that
[00:09:29] experts, primarily legal experts, characterized
[00:09:32] this specific procedure as an attempt
[00:09:34] to intimidate the public, but also
[00:09:38] an attempt to intimidate anyone who was a critic of the government.
[00:09:42] In some way, therefore, to intimidate. Here, then, it is about
[00:09:45] those activists who are now pardoned.
[00:09:48] And also, what is mentioned, that is, what
[00:09:52] extends is that those activists, that is, that it was actually
[00:09:55] a political persecution, considering that six activists are currently
[00:09:59] out of the country, that is, they are in exile, therefore, this
[00:10:03] Novi Sad twelve, I must emphasize, stands out from this
[00:10:07] list of pardoned people, but overall, therefore, the High Court in
[00:10:11] Novi Sad announced today. So, after receiving a letter from
[00:10:14] the ministry, that a total of 18
[00:10:18] people were pardoned in Novi Sad.
[00:10:21] Thank you Tina, you heard our Ina Džakula, she reported from Novi
[00:10:25] Sad. You also heard Nenad Nešić from
[00:10:27] Belgrade. And about the names of the pardoned in the continuation
[00:10:31] of the news, I am talking with lawyer Vladica
[00:10:35] Ilić. Good evening, we heard the names,
[00:10:39] is there any reason to ask if this is final. You wrote on
[00:10:42] X that the pardon now,
[00:10:46] I paraphrase, is not an unlimited legal authority
[00:10:49] of the president. What does that
[00:10:52] mean in practice?
[00:10:55] Good evening, thank you for the invitation, uh, well that means
[00:10:58] that the president, although he has many
[00:11:02] different reasons why he could grant a pardon to a person, either in the form
[00:11:05] of release from punishment or replacement of a sentence with a lighter
[00:11:09] sentence or in the form of release from criminal prosecution, he still cannot
[00:11:13] do it for any motives or reasons.
[00:11:17] In the previous period, I am primarily referring to last
[00:11:20] year, we heard the president who repeatedly said that he would grant
[00:11:24] pardons due to GDP,
[00:11:27] and later because he, as he said, would correct the injustice
[00:11:31] inflicted by courts and prosecutors, how he would protect
[00:11:33] the weak from some injustice
[00:11:37] that is spread by courts and prosecutors
[00:11:41] throughout Serbia, that he will continue to do so, and we now see that he
[00:11:45] has indeed continued to do so with his
[00:11:48] idea. The president, according to the constitution, is not competent to
[00:11:51] be an instance outside the judicial power, that is, to
[00:11:55] control and obstruct the work of the judiciary, the prosecution,
[00:11:59] the court. He was given a pardon as an
[00:12:02] authority, it is an old institution to in some
[00:12:05] specific situations, that is, to some people
[00:12:09] uh, to grant a pardon due to some
[00:12:12] exceptional reasons that are most often related to some
[00:12:15] reasons, I don't know, human
[00:12:19] nature, uh, this, I don't know, due to some
[00:12:22] serious illness, some exceptional
[00:12:25] circumstances under which an act was committed when it is accompanied by some, I don't
[00:12:28] know, personal circumstances such as genuine remorse, some
[00:12:32] consequences of the act that severely affect the person themselves
[00:12:36] who is accused or convicted, but
[00:12:39] a pardon is not given so that the president
[00:12:42] can release activists of the party
[00:12:45] of which he was president and whose most prominent figure
[00:12:49] is to grant a pardon uh
[00:12:52] uh so that he can in that way show
[00:12:56] a kind of superiority over the judiciary, so that he can
[00:12:59] deal with the judiciary, and last year, I say, he very explicitly
[00:13:03] spoke about his motives for granting those pardons,
[00:13:07] in my opinion, those motives are contrary to the constitution
[00:13:10] and in my opinion, I think
[00:13:13] that it deserved a reaction from the prosecutor's office to investigate
[00:13:17] whether he, by abusing his official
[00:13:21] position, committed a criminal offense of abuse of official position.
[00:13:25] Now, do you think, excuse me for interrupting you, do you think that it
[00:13:29] can happen? I
[00:13:31] think it must happen, so the prosecutor's office for organized crime
[00:13:35] should, in my opinion, since we have a
[00:13:38] situation where the president has
[00:13:42] repeatedly given, I don't know the total number anymore, maybe
[00:13:46] over 60 pardons or
[00:13:49] 50, so
[00:13:51] it's a pretty interesting thing now,
[00:13:55] and when you look at the criminal offenses for which he granted
[00:13:58] pardons to people, now in this third group, but also in the
[00:14:01] first groups, that is, the second group from last
[00:14:05] year, those are all criminal offenses of violence,
[00:14:08] that is, criminal offenses with elements of violence, for such
[00:14:11] criminal offenses, pardons are prohibited even under international
[00:14:14] human rights law. We filed two constitutional
[00:14:18] complaints and two appeals to the European Court of Human Rights on that
[00:14:21] issue last year, because we believe that the Constitutional
[00:14:25] Court will not resolve these constitutional complaints efficiently and quickly, and
[00:14:29] it is also a question of how he is now practically
[00:14:32] giving cause for new proceedings. So,
[00:14:36] one question is the constitutional and legal
[00:14:39] issue of whether there has been a violation of the rights of the injured parties, and I think
[00:14:43] there has been, and the other question is his criminal liability,
[00:14:46] not only his, but also the criminal liability
[00:14:50] of his necessary accomplice, which in this case is the Minister
[00:14:53] of Justice in the technical mandate, Nenad Vuić, because without the proposal
[00:14:57] of the Minister of Justice, the President of the Republic cannot grant
[00:15:00] a pardon in the form of abolition, that is, in the form of release from criminal
[00:15:04] prosecution. Just, just to go back, while you're talking,
[00:15:07] to the injured parties, to the case of Sonja Ponjavić,
[00:15:11] how is that case now, given that a verdict is supposed to
[00:15:14] be delivered?
[00:15:17] doneta
[00:15:20] Uh, the injured party's proxy will be able
[00:15:23] to appeal the court's decision to discontinue the proceedings due to the pardon,
[00:15:26] within 30 days, by submitting a written
[00:15:30] appeal. In that written appeal, after explaining
[00:15:33] it, reference should be made to the judgments of the European Court
[00:15:37] and so on, to request a finding of a violation
[00:15:41] of the procedural aspect of her right from Article perhaps
[00:15:45] 24 of the Constitution and 25. I think that she was
[00:15:48] that there was that that
[00:15:50] man was also accused of attempted murder, to
[00:15:54] request the annulment of the decision, both that court decision that
[00:15:58] discontinues the proceedings and the pardon decision. The Constitutional Court
[00:16:01] has the right to annul an individual act that is
[00:16:05] contrary to the constitution, that is, which violates human or minority rights,
[00:16:08] that is the authority of the Constitutional Court prescribed by the law on the Constitutional
[00:16:12] Court, which is now available not only to the proxies
[00:16:15] of Mrs. Sonja Ponjavić, but also to all those
[00:16:19] who are essentially harmed by these current acts of pardon,
[00:16:22] that is, who as injured parties will not be able to
[00:16:26] satisfy their interests in criminal proceedings and their procedural
[00:16:30] rights, because the President of the Republic decided
[00:16:33] to pardon some persons, and as for the criminal liability of the President
[00:16:38] and the Minister of Justice, the essence here is
[00:16:41] in the reasons for which those pardons were granted,
[00:16:44] so a pardon, regardless of the fact that it is a very
[00:16:48] broad authority, as it is sometimes said, discretionary, it
[00:16:51] cannot be granted for just any reason and it does not serve to
[00:16:55] show that the president is the highest
[00:16:59] authority in the Republic of Serbia, that is not the case, according to
[00:17:02] the constitution, he cannot control court decisions and place himself in
[00:17:06] a position to be above the judiciary, he can therefore only in some
[00:17:09] individual situations when there are some exceptional reasons related
[00:17:13] to some kind of humanity
[00:17:16] and compassion, grant pardons, not grant pardons
[00:17:20] to people who have committed serious crimes, some of them
[00:17:23] were high-ranking officials,
[00:17:25] civil servants who committed, who were
[00:17:29] accused, pardon me, of committing acts
[00:17:32] against official duty, if I'm not mistaken,
[00:17:36] I think some of them were convicted at first instance for those acts,
[00:17:39] so the president cannot just do that
[00:17:42] and if his motives for granting pardons were
[00:17:46] bad, if they were such that he would
[00:17:50] do such a favor to someone, then it
[00:17:54] can also be criminally relevant, that is,
[00:17:57] that he and the Minister of Justice are held accountable for abuse of official position.
[00:18:01] Do you think they can be called, both the former president and
[00:18:04] the Minister of Justice Vučić and Vujić, to explain
[00:18:08] all these pardons? Of course, they would have to, because we have,
[00:18:11] I repeat, not only this group is problematic, but also
[00:18:15] the group of pardons when the president pardoned
[00:18:18] his activists from Novi Sad, and then after that the
[00:18:22] girl who hit a girl with a car in New Belgrade.
[00:18:25] So what did we have then? We had the president's announcement that
[00:18:29] there would be pardons, and then the proposal
[00:18:32] of the Minister of Justice, and then the president's decision, and then
[00:18:35] you create. You have a situation that
[00:18:39] uh, frankly, gives reason for serious suspicion that
[00:18:42] the president had an agreement with the Minister of Justice for it
[00:18:46] to be carried out. So, when the president
[00:18:49] announces something in advance, then the Minister of Justice, who is not obliged to
[00:18:53] listen to the president's wishes or act on
[00:18:56] his public
[00:18:58] announcements, submits such a proposal, and then everyone hides,
[00:19:02] both the Ministry of Justice and the General Secretariat of the President
[00:19:06] of the Republic, all bodies have hidden from us both last year and this year
[00:19:10] the explanations of their decisions. So, the proposal for
[00:19:14] a pardon must be explained. In the General
[00:19:17] Secretariat of the President of the Republic, there is a pardon commission, which is an advisory
[00:19:20] body of the President of the Republic that also needs to state
[00:19:23] its opinion to the president whether he should or should not
[00:19:27] use that constitutional and legal authority. In the end, it is the president's
[00:19:30] decision. In the very end, all those people
[00:19:34] must make their decisions
[00:19:38] for some reasons that are not contrary to some
[00:19:41] imperative provisions of the Constitution and the principles of the Constitution on the separation of
[00:19:44] powers, on the prohibition of conflict of interest. So, here you had a
[00:19:48] person who was in a state function who releases his party
[00:19:51] activists, so that is something that is very suspicious from the perspective
[00:19:55] of violating that constitutional principle and of conflict of interest, separation
[00:19:59] of powers, and so on. So, these are all questions for the public prosecutor's office for organized
[00:20:03] crime and this commission of the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. I think they should
[00:20:07] as soon as possible call those
[00:20:09] two we mentioned
[00:20:13] to review all those acts, so both the proposals of the Minister
[00:20:16] of Justice, but also to see what the pardon commission
[00:20:19] there, perhaps the pardon commission drew
[00:20:23] the president's attention to some reasons why a pardon cannot
[00:20:27] or should not be granted, but he did it despite that. So
[00:20:30] these are all things that the prosecutor can check, so we will follow up on this
[00:20:34] topic, Mr. Ilić, thank you very much for
[00:20:38] speaking for the news. You heard lawyer Vladica
[00:20:41] Ilić.
[00:20:44] Now, whether the next news item fell into the background because of all this
[00:20:47] or not, namely, businessman Davor Macura is now
[00:20:50] in custody. He is suspected of withdrawing money from the bank's treasury,
[00:20:54] that is, 45
[00:20:57] billion dinars, which is more than 380
[00:21:00] million euros. The Public Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime
[00:21:04] confirmed that, along with Macura, the director of the Treasury
[00:21:07] and Cash Management Department of that bank, GM, and a Treasury
[00:21:11] Operations Associate, IP, were arrested.
[00:21:14] Macura is accused of committing the criminal offense of abuse of position
[00:21:17] by a responsible person, and the other suspects are accused of
[00:21:21] helping him with that. All of them were detained for up to
[00:21:24] 48 hours.
[00:21:28] He is charged with abuse of
[00:21:32] position as a responsible person in that bank,
[00:21:36] and he will be brought before the competent prosecutor
[00:21:39] tomorrow, as we were told, in the afternoon, so after
[00:21:43] 12 o'clock. The Prosecutor's Office for Organized
[00:21:46] Crime, it is competent, given that the investigation is ongoing.
[00:21:50] I would not
[00:21:54] give any further information, it's not that I am
[00:21:58] hiding something, but that's how it is, that's the procedure.
[00:22:00] And what will happen to those who were
[00:22:03] harmed by Davor Macura's actions? What about the money
[00:22:07] of state enterprises and citizens? While
[00:22:10] waiting for a bankruptcy decision, economists warn that the
[00:22:13] consequences could affect other companies owned
[00:22:17] by Macura.
[00:22:20] While waiting for the commercial court's decision on the bankruptcy of Alta Bank,
[00:22:24] citizens are waiting for information on when they will be able to withdraw deposits
[00:22:27] from the bank. The instructions for this, explains the N1
[00:22:31] interlocutor, will be announced by the Deposit Insurance Agency,
[00:22:34] which will designate a bank to be the payer within three
[00:22:38] days of the official bankruptcy. The Deposit Insurance
[00:22:41] Agency will return up to 50,000 euros
[00:22:44] to depositors. Everything above that, if someone had, for example,
[00:22:48] 70,000 in savings, the agency will return
[00:22:52] 50,000, and for the remaining 20,000, they will have to wait
[00:22:55] for collection in the regular, i.e., bankruptcy proceedings
[00:22:58] of the bankruptcy estate. In addition to citizens, Elektroprivreda Srbije,
[00:23:02] Telekom, Srbija Gas, Air Serbia Parking service also had accounts
[00:23:05] in the bank. The list of state-owned companies is long,
[00:23:09] so it is clear that Alta Bank could only function if it was
[00:23:13] privileged by the former regime, explains Pavle
[00:23:16] Petrović, former president of the Fiscal Council. And
[00:23:20] that's why, he adds, the reaction of the National Bank of Serbia was late. If there were
[00:23:24] a truly independent governor of the central bank, not
[00:23:27] a high-ranking official of the Serbian Progressive Party,
[00:23:31] in the evening, in the morning,
[00:23:33] uh, an independent person, that is, if there were a truly independent governor of the central
[00:23:37] bank and vice-governors with him, they would essentially
[00:23:41] look at what is happening. The essence, according to the economy
[00:23:45] editor of the weekly Radar, Milan Ćulibrk, is that Davor
[00:23:48] Macura would have needed at least a century to build the business empire
[00:23:52] he built in Serbia in just a few years, in the West.
[00:23:55] There were hundreds of millions of euros
[00:23:58] of state money from state enterprises, and the question is what will come
[00:24:02] of it in the end, because now everything depends on how the
[00:24:06] bankruptcy ends. Let's not forget that the
[00:24:09] bankruptcy of those four failed banks that were closed back in
[00:24:13] 2002 has not yet been completed. Although
[00:24:16] he believes that the bankruptcy of Alta Bank will not have significant consequences
[00:24:20] for the Serbian banking system, Petrović cannot say the same for
[00:24:23] companies also owned by Davor Macura. Economically,
[00:24:27] a much greater problem, a negative
[00:24:31] consequence, could affect
[00:24:34] those chains Mercator, Idea Roda,
[00:24:37] and that they could end up in a very
[00:24:41] difficult situation. They could go bankrupt, it is possible
[00:24:44] that they would go bankrupt. And he does not rule out
[00:24:48] the possibility that other clientelistic firms, which like
[00:24:52] Alta Bank in previous years were close to the political
[00:24:55] and economic state elite, could also go into bankruptcy.
[00:24:57] Miloš Zekić, N1,
[00:25:01] Belgrade. In the continuation of the news, about more one
[00:25:03] arrested.
[00:25:07] While awaiting a hearing, is Marko Kričak's arrest
[00:25:10] a crackdown on crime in the police or
[00:25:14] a confrontation among
[00:25:15] themselves?
[00:25:20] We are talking about repeated
[00:25:22] elections.
[00:25:24] The Republican Electoral Commission has 96 hours to
[00:25:28] announce the final results of the elections, and after the repeated
[00:25:31] elections. After that, the deadlines for the constitution of the new
[00:25:34] convocation of the National Assembly begin to run.
[00:25:37] Yesterday, repeated voting was held at 53 polling stations in Serbia
[00:25:41] for extraordinary parliamentary elections. As the
[00:25:44] CRTA announced, they brought about a change in the distribution of mandates compared to...
[00:25:48] RIK's projection after the elections on October 25th.
[00:25:51] Namely, the list of USAME Zukorlić, SPP Movement for
[00:25:54] Unification, managed to enter parliament, it will have one parliamentary
[00:25:58] seat. The student list of students will have, according to the estimate
[00:26:02] of the CRTA, one mandate less, i.e., a total of
[00:26:05] 140 mandates. The SNS will have 103
[00:26:09] parliamentary seats, two mandates each, the Alliance of Vojvodina
[00:26:12] Hungarians, the Albanian Coalition, Rasim Ljajić
[00:26:15] and the SDA Sandžak. The turnout was
[00:26:18] 44.9% in these repeated
[00:26:22] elections. And precisely because of this change,
[00:26:26] we are going to Aleksinac next, because the
[00:26:29] next story... caught the attention of the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office, which
[00:26:33] formed a case regarding posts on social networks about alleged
[00:26:37] vote buying at the polling station in the village of
[00:26:41] Glogovica. From Zukorlić's team for N1, they claim
[00:26:43] they were not involved. And what
[00:26:46] do the citizens in this village say, our
[00:26:50] reporter Milan Stojanović checked.
[00:26:53] Quick cash, does that clarify
[00:26:55] the dilemma of how in the Aleksinac village
[00:26:59] Glogovica, dozens of those who support the list of national
[00:27:02] minorities, which never existed there, the opposition warns, not even a week
[00:27:06] ago, didn't get a single vote, maybe they decided more for him,
[00:27:09] now they've changed their minds since last time, yes, but
[00:27:13] there's an option that can't be said,
[00:27:17] why, well, I can tell you without a microphone,
[00:27:20] around the village without a microphone, they say that for a vote for Zukorlić's minority
[00:27:24] list, one could get 2,000 dinars, some say
[00:27:28] three, as soon as they see a microphone, they
[00:27:32] shut up, I just looked, what do you say, well
[00:27:35] nothing, I say, this is a shame, if you believe
[00:27:39] me honestly, I don't know, may I live, are there any Bosniaks alive here,
[00:27:42] difficult, difficult, difficult, whoever voted, he
[00:27:46] knows, whoever sold out, he knows if he voted
[00:27:49] according to his conscience, voted according to what he was told,
[00:27:53] I have no idea, everything is obvious, everything is seen, everything
[00:27:56] is known, what is seen and what is known, from the posted
[00:27:59] results of the repeated elections at polling station
[00:28:02] 74 in the municipality of Aleksinac, where out of
[00:28:06] 622 registered Glogovica residents with voting
[00:28:09] rights, only a little more than 220
[00:28:13] exercised that right in the repeat voting.
[00:28:16] The SNS wins 109, the student list
[00:28:19] 61, the SPS only one, but the minority list,
[00:28:22] whose name many here don't know well,
[00:28:26] even 53. Do you know who
[00:28:28] this is in the picture? I know who, that's Asim
[00:28:32] Gajić, someone like Asim Gajić, that should be Hasim
[00:28:36] Usame Zukorlić, Asame Gučević, yes, good,
[00:28:39] impossible in a village where there are no
[00:28:42] Muslims, where there are no sympathizers of this
[00:28:45] Zukorlić's party, that such a thing should happen, that's why we suspect that there were
[00:28:49] problems there for the simple reason that Bosniaks
[00:28:52] had a very small number of votes they needed to
[00:28:55] win, about 150 votes, so that their second MP could enter
[00:28:59] parliament, where they could do that, only in places where elections
[00:29:02] are repeated. The Basic Prosecutor's Office from Aleksinac
[00:29:05] has formed a case regarding alleged vote buying in that
[00:29:09] city, and the one from his movement who participated
[00:29:12] in it, says Zukorlić, will be severely punished,
[00:29:16] if it is proven. Milan Stojanović, N1
[00:29:19] Aleksinac. Four people were arrested for
[00:29:22] allegedly selling and
[00:29:25] buying votes for the list Aleksandar Vučić
[00:29:28] United Serbia, announced the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi
[00:29:31] Sad, three people admitted to the prosecutor's office
[00:29:35] to buying votes for the SNS, i.e., that
[00:29:38] they received 6,000 dinars to circle number
[00:29:42] one in the elections on October 25th,
[00:29:45] it is suspected that the suspect K.A. received a sum
[00:29:48] of 30,000 dinars from the suspect M.J., kept 6,000 dinars
[00:29:52] for himself as compensation for his vote for
[00:29:55] list number one, and it is suspected that he... on November 1st, paid
[00:29:59] 6,000 dinars in cash to the suspects
[00:30:03] K.B. and T.J. as compensation for voting for the
[00:30:06] same list, i.e., list number one, in the same elections.
[00:30:09] M.J. was detained for up to 48 hours.
[00:30:13] And these are not all the arrests today. Namely, the Higher Public
[00:30:17] Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad announced that six people were arrested on suspicion
[00:30:20] that, as employees of the municipal administration and the police
[00:30:24] station of the municipality of Mali Zvornik, they mediated
[00:30:27] and, for a fee, enabled persons from the territory of
[00:30:30] Bosnia and Herzegovina to register their residence,
[00:30:34] in exchange for voting in the elections.
[00:30:36] There are also grounds to suspect that in April
[00:30:40] and May 2025, official vehicles of the
[00:30:44] municipality were used for rides from Mali Zvornik to
[00:30:47] Belgrade for a stay in
