Serbia’s Prosecutor’s Office for Organised Crime (TOK) has opened two cases following criminal complaints filed by lawyer Ivan Ninić against senior state officials, including Serbian Security Intelligence Agency (BIA) Director Vladimir Orlić and Justice Minister Nenad Vujić, over alleged violations of electoral rights.
The prosecutor’s office announced on November 5 that it had requested the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Service for Combating Organised Crime (SBPOK) to collect information and verify the allegations contained in both complaints.
The first criminal complaint was filed against BIA Director Vladimir Orlić and several other agency officials. It concerns alleged abuse of official position, violations of voting rights and coercion.
According to TOK, a request for the collection of necessary information was sent to SBPOK on November 4, 2026. The police have been asked to verify the allegations and interview the individuals named in the complaint.
The second complaint targets Justice Minister Nenad Vujić, Mile Jandrić, Director of the Administration for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions, the minister’s special adviser Milica Radonjić, and more than 60 other named individuals. Those listed include directors of correctional facilities and district prisons across Serbia, as well as prison officials and unidentified senior officials, representatives and activists of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
The complaint alleges several criminal offences, including criminal association, abuse of official position, influence peddling, bribery related to voting, unauthorised collection of personal data, negligent performance of official duties, and racial and other forms of discrimination.
TOK said it had also instructed SBPOK to undertake all necessary police activities to establish the facts, including collecting information from all individuals named in the complaint and other people who may have relevant knowledge of the alleged events.
Ninić had previously announced that he filed a criminal complaint against the BIA director and the leadership of the agency’s Fourth Regional Centre in Kragujevac and other cities.
He alleges that BIA employees were pressured into collecting so-called capillary votes for the SNS using party-provided forms, with the activity allegedly imposed on them as a work obligation.
The opening of the two cases marks the beginning of preliminary investigative procedures to establish whether the allegations warrant further criminal proceedings.
