Minister Paunović was the director of non-existent pharmacies

Before she became a minister in the Government of Serbia in 2025, Snezana Paunovic received a salary as a member of parliament, but also as the director of the Peć Pharmacy in Kosovo.

Even though that institution has not officially existed since 2021.

Paunović During her 11 years at the head of that institution, she received around 146 euros in salary in total, writes Radio Free Europe. The minister's office did not respond to the media's questions.

I reported everything myself.

As they write, the Peć Pharmacy Institution, based in nearby Goraždevac, was shut down on October 7, 2021, by decision of the Government of Serbia. The request to be deleted from the register of health institutions in 2021 is submitted by Snežana Paunović, the documents show.

She, however, continued to receive a salary as acting (acting) director of the Peć Pharmacy Institution until April 15, 2025, when she became a minister. All her other functions thus ceased by law.

This is shown by reports on income and assets, which Paunović herself submitted to the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption.

Fantasies of "ethnic cleansing"

These days, Paunović raised the dust with the fantasy that, if she had been in Slobodan Milošević's position in 1998, she would have "ethnically cleansed" Kosovo.

She was harshly criticized for that statement, and later she apologized - to President Vučić and Prime Minister Macuto.
