Retired lieutenant colonel Goran Arsenić, former officer of the 72nd special brigade, hardened and decorated fighter from Košar in 1998/99. in his life, he had no dealings with the police, the court or the prosecutor's office, he was never convicted.
Last week, however, the Novi Sad police came to his house in the village near Petrovaradin one evening, unannounced, and asked him to go with them for an informative interview. This happened in front of his wife, mother-in-law, daughter and six-year-old grandson, and he saw the neighborhood.
He sat in the car with them, they drove him to their premises and explained that they had received a letter from Kikinda to have an interview with him and ask him if he had written a post on his Facebook profile and with what motive and purpose.
Arsenić then understood what it was all about.
"SNS bastard unfit for the army"
Since he is from the vicinity of Kikinda, in one of the photos from the protest rally in that city, he recognized the violent leader of the Serbian Progressive Party, Bojan Barbulov, the "hitting fist of the SNS", who verbally attacked and pushed the participants of the protest. He wrote on Facebook:
"Yesterday, you could see how the sect organized thugs in the cities of Serbia to attack and provoke citizens who stopped for 15 minutes in the squares and intersections reminding the victims of crimes in Novi Sad.
The leader of the thugs in Kikinda was this Bojan Barbulov. Brief description, mentality: at the time when military service was mandatory, a real send-off for going to the Army, patriotic songs are sung, three fingers are raised high. He went to the Army, cried in the barracks for three days, on the fourth day he was sent for a fitness assessment, on the fifth day he returned home, unfit with an F diagnosis - "PatriJota".
Arsenić points out in an interview with Vreme that the whole city is familiar with the army and the diagnosis, it's no secret.
"The very next day, he wrote to me that he was going to report me to the police." And they came for me two days after that. To the questions asked, I answered that my motive and goal was that I think it is important to know, by name and surname, who are the people who attack citizens during a peaceful protest and cause incidents, and what are their character and psychological traits", he explained. he.
Summoning the head of the MUP Kikinda
Since he considered it inappropriate for the police to detain him for a post on Facebook, he posted a new one, where he told the chief of Kikinda police that it would be more useful for him to deal with solving crimes.
"But let me ask you, the head of the Kikinda MUP, from which a letter was sent to the police in Novi Sad to invite me to an informative interview because of the Facebook post: do you perhaps know if this surrounded director is a drug dealer who was arrested yesterday on the orders of Europol, and his friend Bajatović financed the purchase of votes in the villages around Kikinda? Did Zoran Stefanović, a councilor in the Kikinda City Assembly, steal money from the Organization of the Blind of Vojvodina, and what did the police do about it?
Have you perhaps determined whether the mayor who resigned (Nikola) Lukacs and his entourage became the owners of real estate in the country and abroad in a few years of power?
What about the reconstruction of the 'Feješ Klara' school, has anyone been involved???
So leave what I write on FB, you have a better job, earn a salary from the money that the citizens set aside for you", said Arsenić.
New informational interview
The answer soon followed - the Kikinda police again sent a letter to the Novi Sad police to detain him again, after which they called him by phone and asked him to report to the station.
"When I left, they asked me the same thing again - did I write and what were my motives and goals?" I told them that I wrote that because I believe that the task of the police is to answer the questions that I asked in the post, and not to invite me for an informative interview, even though I did not commit a criminal offense", says Arsenić.
He believes that the police in Kikinda is not in the function of protecting citizens and exposing criminal acts, but their priority task is "protection and concealment of criminal acts committed by members of the ruling party."
"It is completely inappropriate for someone, if he has not committed a crime, to be detained and called to the police, and this traumatizes not only him, but his family members are also afraid, and the neighbors are also watching." My six-year-old grandson says to me: 'Grandpa, the police are taking you away again'. The report of the beater from Kikinda should not be a matter for the police, but let him sue me privately if he believes that I have violated his rights, so that it can be resolved before the competent court. I didn't present the data from his health record, but what the whole city knows", concludes Arsenić.
He says that he will continue to reveal the criminal activities of the progressive government in Kikinda.
