We'll eat more

Live action thriller. The "Jovanjica" case became crazier than the TV series that was broadcast at the time of Koluvia's arrest. The court proceedings of "Jovanjica One" and "Two" have become unified. This means that from now on, eighteen defendants will be tried together for the production of drugs - marijuana and skank. What will Serbia see sooner: the verdict for Jovanjica or the legalization of cannabis? With so many defendants, the trial could last "from here to eternity"

MUP has never been so criminalized

"A person may not have to know exactly what he wants, but he must know what he doesn't want. I didn't want to be a criminal and act on illegal orders. I personally know most of the MUP members who have been arrested in the last couple of years. They ended up in prison because they unquestioningly carried out all the orders, knowing that some of them were not according to the law. And it always comes at a cost"

Do you remember "Jovanjica 2"

Almost the entire state leadership defends Koluvija wherever it goes, from the courtroom, through the Assembly to the television studios. At the same time, they are trying to criminalize and publicly attack inspectors Dusan Mitić and Slobodan Milenkovic, who discovered Jovanjica. During breaks in the trial, Koluvija and the defendants for "Jovanjica 1" are greeted by members of the BIA, who, according to the indictment, were guards of the property, while marijuana was flourishing. They encourage them with words, in cafes, not far from the Court: "Take it easy, we will chase Mitić and Milenković out of the Service"

The case of Jovanjica: The political background of dirty badges

Since the government does not manage to completely cover up the "Jovanjica case", in the meantime obscured by powerful smoke bombs, it does not move from its standstill. Exactly two years ago, "Vreme" wrote, based on the knowledge at the time, about what the new arrests tell us in a case that has been shaking Serbia since the end of 2019 and which shows that employees of the police and the intelligence community helped the largest marijuana grower in the Balkans, Predrag Koluvia. On this occasion, we present a few texts that remind us of the whole case, in the center of which, instead of being a hero, the head of the Department for the fight against drugs of the Belgrade police, Slobodan Milenković, was a dramatic figure.

State crime in the light of logical analysis

The first and probably the most important function and obligation of government is the maintenance of legal order and the protection of rights and freedoms. If there are many "crimes" in society, including "horrible and shocking" ones, it means that the government has not performed its basic duty properly. This is the most shocking criticism of the government, which this time came from within its ranks
