When Christian was released from Pozarevac prison last year, he swore that he would live a peaceful life in the future and that he would no longer come into conflict with the law. Until January of this year
On Tuesday, May 8, another trial of Aleksandar Kristijan Golubović (41) began before the High Court in Belgrade. This time, his mother Milanka Golubović (60), Safet Ibrović, aka Sajo Pevač (38), and Mirsad Fujaljkić (28), both from Novi Pazar, share the dock with him, then Ferat Skenderovski (47), as well as Uroš Vuković (20). ) and Marko Poljak from Belgrade. The criminal proceedings against the minor AK (17) will be conducted separately. The defendants are accused of smuggling heroin from Novi Pazar to Belgrade and reselling it.
DEEDS AND FAILURES: Although Kristijan was often said to have "spent half his life in prison", careful chroniclers of his street biography doubt the accuracy of that assessment and state that Kristijan Golubović spent a total of "about 10 years" in prisons. He was born on November 30, 1969. At the age of 18, in 1987, he returned to Yugoslavia with his mother and sister and lived in the Braće Jerković neighborhood in Belgrade. Soon he found himself in the underground with both feet. In 1989, he got into a fight with Slavko Mijović, aka Mija Pijuk, in front of the former disco "Luv".
BEFORE THE JUDGE AGAIN: Kristijan Golubović
At the end of February 1990, Golubović broke into a disco located in the "Mažestik" hotel, ordered the guests to lie down on the floor and shot several times into the ceiling. Dragan Nikolić, aka Gagi, was with him then, who 10 years later was involved in Arkan's murder. After the raid in "Majestic", Christian flees to Germany, but the sins of his early youth await him there, for which he had to spend three years in a juvenile prison in Dusseldorf. German laws are very strict when it comes to data related to juvenile files, so there is only speculation about what crime he was convicted of, and the most common mentions are car thefts and burglaries.
After serving his sentence, Golubović was extradited to Yugoslavia in 1993 for crimes committed there between 1988 and 1990. He spent some time in the Central Prison, but he was able to participate in the filming of the documentary film B92. See you in the obituary. He talked about how he spent time in prison, how he trained, did push-ups and sit-ups, how he drew, painted and wrote, how he got his nose broken in prison (presumably in Germany).
A TRIP TO GREECE: After about five years spent in Serbia, Golubović left for Greece in 1998. In December 1999, a court in Thessaloniki sentenced him to fourteen and a half years in prison for theft, resale of stolen cars and armed robbery in that city, which he confessed to. Thus, during the trial before the Greek court, his defense submitted "documentation" in which it is stated "that the Kosovo Liberation Army blackmailed his head for a million marks", so he asked the Greek state for guarantees for his safety. After that, he was brought to the courtroom accompanied by 20 armed members of the special unit of the Greek police, while members of the Greek Security Service previously carried out counter-subversion control of the courthouse and its surroundings.
In prison, in the Athenian suburb of Koridalos, Golubović spent four years and two months, and then - in April 2003, during the "Saber" police operation - he was again extradited to Serbia, where he was tried for an alleged attempt to extort 10.000 German marks from the owner of the Belgrade slot club "Aleksandar" Milorad Majkić.
AGAIN IN THE HOMELAND: Even later, Golubović did not relent, so on December 12, 2005, before the Special Court in Belgrade, he was sentenced to six years in prison for attempting to extort 15.000 euros from a former police officer from Sremska Mitrovica, Petar Žeravić, and for extorting 3000 from the married couple Arsić from Aranđelovac. euros and a certain amount of jewelry. The case of attempted extortion from Petar Žeravić remains in the memory of Mitrovica residents to this day, who say that Žeravić then found a coffin with his name and surname in front of the house. On appeal, Christian's sentence was changed to four and a half years in prison. While serving his sentence, Golubović married Suzana Milojković in prison on September 29, 2006. According to newspaper reports, the bride arrived at the prison in Požarevac that day "in a limousine, followed by a column of jeeps." During his stay behind bars, Kristijan Golubović also created his own website, on which - apart from excerpts from his not-yet-published book Ja - I can even see videos taken with a mobile phone in the prison in Požarevac. When Christian was released from Pozarevac prison last year, he swore that he would live a peaceful life in the future and that he would no longer come into conflict with the law. Until January of this year.
During his stay in the remand prison, on February 1 this year, media in Croatia announced that Kristijan tried to commit suicide by hanging in the Central Prison, allegedly because he was deeply affected by the fact that this time his mother also ended up behind bars with him. It is also interesting that the Belgrade media announced that "all the lawyers that Christian tried to hire" refused, with the explanation that "he has no money to pay them", so now both he and his mother are represented by ex officio defense attorneys, who was awarded by the court. A source close to the Ministry of Interior of Serbia tells "Vreme" that "this should not be taken too seriously and it should not be believed that Christian suddenly became impoverished, but that he is tormented by a financial investigation under the Law on Confiscation of Assets Acquired from Crime, which is being conducted against him with the aim of to determine what he owns from real estate, bank accounts and cash. This seems to be Christian's way of convincing the investigators that they have nothing to find."

Some will close, but the important thing is that many people will lose their jobs. In the case of large private companies that are experiencing difficulties, the government should commit to better owners taking over these companies in order to save thousands of jobs. We will already have this case with Davora Macure's companies, among which is "Idea"
