"I ask the mayor Dragoslav Pavlović why he went to promote a company that is obviously connected to crime? Who sent him there, does he have deeper connections with people who were close to the drug cartel", asks the deputy of the National Movement of Serbia from Niš, Đorđe Stanković
Four Niš were killed under unexplained circumstances in Bolivia in a conflict between criminal groups in South America that resulted in the seizure of four tons cocaine.
One of those killed is connected to a company that has recently been blocked, and the mayor of Niš, Dragoslav Pavlović, announced cooperation with that company just a month ago.
Pavlović also announced help for that company, explaining that it was "necessary", writes N1.
Now Pavlović that the connection with that company is not a confirmation of the connection with criminal groups, as the opposition claims.
The opposition demands answers and responsibility, because the People's Movement of Serbia claims that Pavlović, as the highest city official, brought all the people of Nišlje into contact with suspicious people and disputed capital.
"The people who were killed were the owners of the company Prevozkop, owned by Dragoslav Marjanović. He is the father of Miljan Đekić, that is, Marjanović, who was killed in Bolivia two weeks ago. Just a month ago, Mayor Dragoslav Pavlović went, for no reason known to me, and promoted the company Prevozkop, stating that it is one of the biggest partners of the city of Nis. However, after this happened, everything changed, because suddenly that company was blocked for 80 million dinars," he said. Đorđe Stanković, deputy and councilor of the National Movement of Serbia from Niš, writes N1.
As he said, crime clearly affected the city.
"I also ask the mayor a question - why did he go to promote a company that is obviously connected to crime? Who sent him there, does he have deeper connections with people who were close to the drug cartel," Stanković asked.
He also says that if they don't get answers, "there will be consequences."
Pavlović: Attempt to criminalize my name
The answer from Pavlović arrived in advance - he scheduled a press conference on Saturday, rejected the accusations in advance and said that he knew it would come from the representatives of the opposition.
"The attempt to connect with certain companies in the coming period will directly relate to me, and after that to some of my associates, where it is directly indicated that we have been criminalized. This attempt to criminalize my name is something that is shameful, because Nišlije know that the city government has been working without scandals for the past year, for the benefit of fellow citizens, all the contracts that have been signed are transparent, available to everyone, everyone can see and evaluate them," Pavlović said at the press conference.
The company that the mayor visited as successful is now blocked. In the absence of precise answers, the public builds numerous stories based on the information it has.
Whether an investigation is being built and what is the role of Nišli and politics in that market, there is no answer yet.
