The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office (VJT), led by Nenad Stefanović, is asking the High Council of Prosecutions (HPC), the EU Delegation and the OSCE for protection from "political pressures after the elections". The call comes at a time when the VST commission is checking the work of the VJT
From the statement of the prosecution, one gets the impression that the role of the former head of the Belgrade police in the whole event is continuously diminished. It is difficult to determine whether this is really the result of the evidentiary actions carried out so far and new knowledge gathered during the investigation, or whether it is a matter of relativizing his role for some other reason. Nevertheless, bearing in mind all the strange and unusual moves of the High Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, it is quite justified to suspect that it is about relativizing responsibility and that someone from a very high position is trying to protect Milić

Last year, it seemed that some parts of the prosecutor's office and the judiciary might wake up just as the students demanded at the beginning of their rebellion.

"Vučić's prosecutors" experienced a debacle in the elections in the High Council of Prosecutions, after which they filed many reports. Now they are trying to regain the majority they lost through obstruction
After the candidates of Aleksandar Vučić experienced a debacle in the elections in the High Council of the Prosecution on December 23, a large number of objections to the process are submitted. The goal is to cancel the battles
The defeat of the prosecutor Nenad Stefanović in the elections for the members of the High Council of Prosecutors also has a great symbolic meaning: an institution defended itself and showed that the power of Vučić is thinner than it was thought, that its greatest strength - as is the case with the secret services - lies in the reputation of great power

It is completely unclear to me what the platitudes that individuals use about alienating, separating and endangering the state from public prosecutors really mean. It is symptomatic to me that they appeared when the competent public prosecutor's offices, acting according to the laws, began to act ex officio in connection with criminal proceedings in which high representatives of the executive power were involved. I will remind you that the government has repeatedly proclaimed the fight against corruption as one of the most important goals of its work
