VUK JEREMICBecause of Predrag Koluvija and Milan Radoičić, the government in any orderly country would fall and never rise again. And again - if in such countries "Hadži" Vulin and Bata Gašić would become what they are in Serbia
What connects Jovanjica and Banjska, Too dear to Coluvius i Milan Radoičić? The reader knows: both are "well" under the protection of the state. The marijuana planter is a poor "victim" of two policemen, and the newest paramilitary commander is a "hero and freedom fighter". The government recognized their value a long time ago: the first flew in a delegation of businessmen with the President of Serbia, the second sat on his right during meetings. That's why this tandem is immune to the justice system.
Koluvia's partners from Službi (Jovanjica II) have been on trial for two and a half years, and the best law student ever, Aleksandar Vučić, is working on his defense alongside Đuka. Radoičić is doing even better: Vučić announced the other day that he passed a polygraph as a suspect in the liquidation of Oliver Ivanovic and that was it - what an investigation, what coppers. Now the judiciary, by treating the capitalist from Banjska, shows all the luxury and humanity of sport fishing: you catch, take a picture, kiss and let go.
Since Koluvija and Radoičić are the positives in Serbia, who are the negatives? The reader also knows this.
In the case of the first - Slobodan Milenković and Dušan Mitić, the inspectors who exposed Jovanjica and because of that, suffer unprecedented terror from the regime. It has gotten to the point where their lives are at stake. But as soon as Milenkovic made an official note that half a million euros had been paid for his guard, and probably as much for Mitić, Radoičić's godfather Zvonko Veselinović was sent to the police. The MUP then announced that he had passed the polygraph - he neither knows nor knows the inspectors - and thus ended the operational and all other actions.
As for Radoičić, every journalist in Serbia who asks what he really did in Banjska is a villain. Such Vučić labels as exponents of Aljbin Kurti and his police minister Dželjaj Svčelja. If it stays like that, it will be good. The few past independent media are used to worse.
But more than anything else, Koluvija and Radoičić are united by "Hadji" Vulin i Bata Gasic. This duo with the helmsman has been rotating between the BIA - the Ministry of Defense - the Ministry of the Interior for years. Does anyone seriously believe that they did not know about Koluvija and what role their subordinates in the services play in Jovanjica?
It is even worse with Banjska. If by some miracle on the other side of the possible they did not know what Radoičić was doing, that is the biggest proof of elementary incompetence since he entered the service. And if they planted pumpkins with the "Lord of the North" in Banjska, then it is a premeditated and direct attack on national security. From it, in both cases, there are now only wrinkles, the same as they remain when Gašić and Vulin insert the documents into the shredder.
Because of Jovanjica and Banjska - individually and together - in any orderly country, the government would fall and never rise again. And again - if in such countries "Hadži" Vulin and Bata Gašić would become what they are in Serbia?

"I'm waiting for them to let me get on the plane again," Aleksandar Vulin told TV Informer after the Moscow-bound plane he was on was returned to Belgrade. And that everything published about him and flight JU 134 is a lie.
The Air Serbia plane JU 134, which took off from the Belgrade airport at around 18:25 for Moscow, was diverted while it was over Lithuania and returned to Belgrade. It is assumed that Aleksandar Vulin was on the plane
The plane that left for Moscow tonight was returned to Belgrade. According to the unofficial information of "Vremen", among the passengers are Aleksandar Vulin, Minister Nenad Popović and Srbijagas director Dušan Bajatović.
More than a year after the alleged abuse of students in the garage of the Government of Serbia, the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office obliged the First Basic Prosecutor's Office to act on the reports against Marko Kričko. The applications have so far remained without an epilogue
The Ministry of Justice of the Government has published a list of 49 people for whom pardon decisions were made
Vučić pardoned the batterers and Dijana Hrkalović. The election winners should abolish the sultan's power that allows one man to run afoul of the entire judicial system
Davor Matura's ALTA empire is the transplanted heart of the corrupt regime of Aleksandar Vučić, who was defeated in the October 25 elections. From ALTA Bank, roads lead directly to the top of the progressive government.
Things are unfolding at an astonishing speed, as astonishing as the speed with which Vucic conceded a convincing defeat. Impatience is understandable, but misplaced

Does Aleksandar "Hadži" Vulin address the vice-president of the Serbian List as "commander" today, the same way the police generals used to beat Arkana
Protecting Slobodan Milenković, Dušan Mitić, Katarina Petrović and other honorable police officers from the caste in power is the duty of all citizens. Otherwise, Jovanjica's boss is free to run the MUP. It will not matter - him or someone else
It is an open secret that the regime is lobbying from the courtroom to the Assembly for the accused Predrag Koluvija, the owner of the Jovanjica estate. These lobbying activities are accompanied by the public presentation of the defense of the accused Koluvija - from television stations with a national frequency to those obscure cable and tabloids. In addition to all that, in recent months the "Jovanjica case" has been followed by "outpourings" of the accused, their defense attorneys, certain ruling politicians, as well as former and current members of the BIA on social networks. All of them have the same task - to defend Colluviya and attack the inspectors who discovered, according to the indictment, the largest skunk factory in Europe. In addition to them, opposition politicians, lawyers, journalists, and even citizens who do not allow Jovanjica to become another affair without an epilogue are also targeted.
What was the goal of the attack in Banjska, carried out without any official position of Serbia? An attempt to radicalize and put Vučić in front of a fait accompli? A demonstration that he is not the only one who is wondering in the north of Kosovo? Or, in both cases, a warning to powerful structures from that area about what to expect if they are threatened or bypassed
