Igor Žmirić was appointed the head of the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ). He is known as a Vučić loyalist who spent the summer playing with students and an assistant to Marko Kričko
When he talks about the misuse of police powers, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić does not mention the savage beating of protesters, the threat of rape by Marko Krichak, nor the dozens of witness statements about the abuse of police powers, but the case of former Red Star footballer Vujadin Savić.
Student Nikolina Sinđelić told all police officers who exceed their powers that Serbia "is not theirs, but belongs to the people and that they have to come to terms with that."
Rape threats, slapping, kicking, spitting, insults, breaking phones - this is how nine people whose testimonies BIRN obtained described what they experienced, heard or saw in the garage of the Government of the Republic of Serbia building, where they were brought after the protest on August 14.
The batterers at the Marakana and in Riga have been identified, there are videos of the brutal excess of the necessary force by gendarmes and members of the Police Brigade... And the prosecution does not even write
Dubravka Tomić, acting director of the "Student City" Cultural Center (in the photo below), whom the Government of Serbia does not want to dismiss from her duties even though she resigned at the initiative of the employees, decides on programs, salary, rights and everything in this institution, where she only wants students of her taste
Several people stated that members of the JZO unlawfully deprived them of their freedom on the street, took them to the garage of the Vladea building where they forced them to kneel, stomped on them, hit them, slapped them, took away and broke their mobile phones, threatened to shoot them in the head. The most drastic treatment was given to the student Nikolina Sinđelić, who disclosed that Marko Kricak personally slapped her and hit her head against the wall, as well as that he threatened to "undress her and rape her in front of everyone".
"We will also work to ensure that all the people who threatened are prosecuted, and we will not leave out the regime media either," said student Nikolina Sinđelić.
What happened in the garage of the Government of Serbia, the citizens could really find out officially, because the institutions have finally started to deal with it. This could mean the collapse of the existing SNS pyramid of power, which is held by the judiciary and the police
It's not just the notorious JZO and its commander Marko Krichak, whom the other police officers are also afraid of. In its new issue, "Vreme" investigates who and how people beat people. And where will their soul go
Minister of Internal Affairs Ivica Dacic said that he will investigate everything to the last detail if there was an abuse of police authority in the garage of the Government of Serbia.
Police Director Dragan Vasiljević said that the commander of the JZO Marko Kricak will do his job until there is evidence that he exceeded his authority.
"There was no tying or mistreatment, all actions were carried out in accordance with the law, solely for the purpose of preserving order and peace," said Minister of the Interior Ivica Dačić about the arrest of student Nikolina Sinđelić
Policewoman Radosavljević could barely hold back from bursting into tears, as she stood as a shield to the commander of the JZO Marko Kričko when the citizens came to his door
At the protest "We are all Nikolina" in support of student Nikolina Sinđelić, the gathered people walked from the Mostar loop, near the PHI building, all the way to the Government of Serbia. The JZO building was guarded exclusively by female police officers, and it seemed that the youngest of them would cry at any moment.
After testifying about the violence of JZO commander Marko Kričko, Nikolina Sinđelić became the target of attacks and pressures. She announced from the protest at the Mostar loop that she will persevere in her fight until the end
Referring to the recent events in Valjevo and other cities, Srđan Milivojević from the DS says that the police behave like a party army, not as a service for citizens and the state.
While student testimonies about the police brutality of JZO commander Marko Kričko continue, a protest in support of a female student who was threatened with rape was also announced. The only remaining question is why the Prosecutor's Office did not initiate investigations
The administration of the Faculty of Political Sciences strongly condemns the brutal treatment of the police and masked attackers against their students Nikolina Sinđelić and Stevan Zdravković during the protest in Belgrade.
The commander of the JZO Marko Krichak hit the student Nikolina Sinđelić against the wall in the garage of the Government of Serbia, threatened her with rape and told her "that she should ask him to stop beating her", she told N1
Members of the Unit for the Security of Certain Persons and Facilities (JZO) come into the public eye with the strengthening of protests by citizens and students. Where the progressive beaters are, there they are. Their commander Marko Kricak, in his previous life a car sales clerk, is a man trusted by Bata Gašić
