Since last week, the owner of seven floors of office space in the Palace of Albania in the center of Belgrade is the company Logga plus Vladan Miketic, although it could have been the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments of the City.

But he didn't, because he didn't use the right of first refusal, so the owner of a little more than 3.300 square meters of business space for about 4.000 euros per square meter was not the state, but Vladan Miketić, the president of the Red Star boxing club, who, according to "Radar", was arrested in 2022 together with the criminal group of Nikola Vušević Johnny.

In February 2022, he was also arrested for collaborating with Veljko Belivuk. In 2002, a bomb was planted in his Mercedes in Budva, but he survived.
