Opposition politician Marinika Tepić has filed a new criminal complaint against Miloš Vučević, the leader of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and adviser to the President of Serbia. In her latest statement, Tepić said that additional evidence has been submitted to Serbian prosecutors, alleging corruption and misuse of state resources during Vučević’s time as prime minister.
The complaint was submitted to the Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office and the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime, where Tepić requested a detailed financial investigation into alleged links between state contracts and private travel arrangements.
Allegations Over Private and Government Flights
According to Tepić, the case relates to a trip to Greece in August 2024 when, she claims, Vučević traveled with associates and family members using a government aircraft and a private luxury jet leased from the company Prince Aviation, owned by businessman Veselin Jevrosimović.
She alleges that during the period when Vučević led the Serbian government, companies connected to Jevrosimović received contracts worth more than seven billion dinars (around €60 million) through deals with state institutions, public enterprises, and agencies.
Tepić said she has provided prosecutors with flight tickets, aircraft registration details, flight numbers, and travel dates to support her claims after Vučević publicly denied the accusations.
Additional Claims Linked to Business Contracts
The opposition lawmaker also raised another case, alleging that in June 2024 Vučević traveled to Munich for the European Football Championship on a private jet with associates from Novi Sad.
According to Tepić, one of the individuals allegedly on the trip is businessman Dragoljub Zbiljić, owner of the company Energotehnika Južna Bačka. She claims the firm received more than 88 billion dinars (around €750 million) in state contracts during Vučević’s time as deputy prime minister and prime minister, with additional contracts reportedly awarded to another related company.
Call for Investigation
Tepić called on prosecutors to summon both Vučević and Jevrosimović for questioning and examine financial transactions and flight records, stating that the matter should now be handled by institutions rather than remaining a political dispute.
In her statement, Tepić argued that the case represents a broader issue of accountability and corruption allegations within the ruling structure, adding that she intends to continue presenting further evidence as part of her campaign titled “The Road to Prison – Justice for Serbia.”
Vučević has previously denied the accusations, and no official findings from prosecutors have yet been announced.
