Metropolitan Jovan of Sumadija handed over to the Minister of the Interior Ivica Dačić Order of the Holy New Martyrs of Kragujevac, First Degree.
The order of the Diocese of Šumadija was also given to the current Minister of Finance Siniša Mali, the former director of the Electric Power Company of Serbia Milorad Grčić and the recently deceased president of the municipality of Jagodina, Dragan Marković Palma, before Dacic, the Kragujevac portal Pressek announced.
This summer, the mayor of Kragujevac, Nikola Dašić, received the same order.
Dacic was presented with a church decoration on Wednesday in Lapovo, during the celebration of the Day of the Department for Emergency Situations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia.
The Order of the Holy New Martyrs of Kragujevac, first and second degree, has been awarded since 2019, as a sign of "acknowledgment of great love for the holy church", according to Pressek.
The Day of the Sector for Emergency Situations and the baptism ceremony were celebrated in the presence of the highest state and local officials, among whom were the Prime Minister of Serbia Đuro Macut, Minister of Defense Bratislav Gašić, Minister of State Administration and Local Self-Government Snežana Paunović, Minister without Portfolio Novica Tončev.
Kragujevac journalists were not informed about that event.
Dacic's role as Minister of the Interior
Protests across Serbia have been going on for ten months. After most of the protests, Dacic addressed the public with alleged information about exactly how many participants there were at the protest, which were untrue, with claims that there was no police brutality and others.
For example, when testimonies about police brutality in the garage of the Government of Serbia appeared, Dacic said that he would investigate everything to the last detail if there was abuse of police authority in the garage.
"We are not hiding anything," claims Ivica Dacic about Marko Kričko's behavior in the garage of the Government of Serbia.
There were also frequent claims that the police were "massively and brutally attacked."
"Without any pretext, without any reason, the police were massively and brutally attacked. There were violent attempts to break through the cordon, pelting police officers with stones, bricks, pyrotechnics, frozen plastic bottles filled with water, with the use of various poles, holders, batons and so on," Dačić said earlier.
"Vreme" previously wrote about internal control, then an inspector of the Department of Internal Control of the MUP stated: "We are not on the streets to monitor the professionalism of the policemen, but their loyalty to the ruling party."
Our source said that he and his colleagues have been on the street for months, in civilian clothes, and observe what colleagues in uniform are doing. "But not to monitor their professionalism, but to record how loyal they are to the ruling party, since the party controls the police force."
"When they receive the order to disperse the crowd, then, also due to political pressure, no matter how brutal they are, they are not responsible for the excessive use of force. Everything is covered up," said our source.
