Did the money paid by the Government to SPC end up in Moscow through Alta Bank?

Pursuant to the Agreement signed by Partyarch Porfirije and Đuro Matsut on Vidovdan this year, the Government approved 763.100.000 dinars to the SPC. 234.800.000 dinars were immediately paid to the church, and the rest should be paid by the end of November 2026. The document obtained by "Vreme" shows that this money - that is, about 6,5 million euros - is intended for the construction of a new music hall measuring 2315,33 square meters. It is not clear which mosaic it is because the interior decoration was completed in 2020. The public was alarmed by two facts: public money was paid into one of the accounts that SPC has in "Alta Bank", and the second is the suspicion that the money in cash was taken out of Serbia and handed over to certain partners in Moscow. Dejan Nakić is mentioned as the whistleblower, and according to numerous sources of "Vremena" from the Serbian Orthodox Church, he has been mentioned before for various controversies related to the business of the Church.

From the beginning, the student movement insisted that the state system be regulated, and this implies very radical measures in the security system, where people who have received high salaries for years to follow and harass opponents of the government sit. They have to leave the service. If they're all like that, they all have to go

How to safely dismantle the party's secret police

Hidden equipment in a college amphitheater, spyware on a student's phone, surveillance by prosecutors and private conversations on television. After the political change, the question remains as to who manages that system. Judge Milimir Lukić demands the abolition of Bija, an independent investigation and the opening of the file.

A dead bank is less dangerous than a live one

From the documentation that BIRN had access to, it is clear that there were reasons for the National Bank of Serbia (NBS) to enter into a detailed control of the work of Alta Bank much earlier, and some of the risks that the control of the central bank found at the end of October 2026 existed for more than a year. The question is why the NBS did not react earlier
