Snapshot in which the director of the University Clinical Center appears Republika Srpska and the president of the Banja Luka SNSD, Vlado Đajić, has been circulating on social networks and numerous media since this morning.
The video was also published by the mayor of Banja Luka, Draško Stanivuković.
The video shows Đajić in the presence of a man who puts a bag with a white powdery substance in front of him, while in the conversation amounts of 30.000 and 40.000 euros are mentioned, as well as the "emergency police".
Stanivuković accompanied the video with a message:
"Nenad Radinković, a convicted criminal and murderer, with the director of the largest health institution in the Republic of Srpska, Vlado Đajić! We expect clear and concrete answers from all actors from the video, as well as from the competent institutions in the shortest possible time."
Dodik: I dismissed Đajić from all functions
SNSD president Milorad Dodik also responded, saying briefly that "Đajić resigned from all positions in the party."
After the release of the video, Đajić himself spoke. As he says, it's about editing and trying to blackmail him.
"As for the video, it is an old recording, a edited thing that they wanted to blackmail me with. I experienced various blackmails and pressures, from unscrewing the screws from the wheels to cutting the tires, blocking the car, various threats," said Đajić.
"It is a montage of a criminal who is now in prison. He came to racket me, mounted me, threw a bag in front of me and it is clear that I escaped," he added in his address to the media.
He called for him to be taken for a polygraph, if necessary. He says that he has never seen cocaine, nor has he consumed it.
"I want a polygraph and tests to be done, I have never seen cocaine, I have never used it. I did not participate in sharing it, I claim that responsibly. I allow hair and blood testing to be done."
The case was reported to the police
He says that he reported everything to the police when the incident happened ten months ago.
"This is a criminal who was involved in kidnappings, as I heard, and racketeering, he came here and took advantage of my goodwill. I reported all this to the authorities when it happened ten months ago and he is already in prison."
He said the following about the cancellation of all positions in the SNSD:
"It's a political thing. I was pushed here, I suffered a lot and worked a lot here. I had no peace and private life, I'm a doctor and a proven expert and professor. I did a lot for the UKC, built the best institution. When I came this was a mess, today it's the best health institution in the region thanks to me. I employed hundreds of people, sent them to training."
The investigation into the content and circumstances of the recording has not been officially confirmed for now.
