Serbia’s Organized Crime Prosecutor’s Office has opened two cases following criminal complaints filed by lawyer Ivan Ninić, involving alleged crimes against electoral rights and suspected abuse of state institutions to interfere with the voting process.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, the proceedings follow mandatory instructions issued by the Office of the Supreme Public Prosecutor on October 20, 2026, outlining how prosecutors should handle preliminary investigations and criminal proceedings involving electoral offences.
The first criminal complaint targets Vladimir Orlić, director of Serbia’s Security and Information Agency (BIA), along with several agency employees. They are suspected of abuse of official position, violations of voting rights and coercion.
On November 4, the Prosecutor’s Office instructed the Ministry of Interior’s Organized Crime Suppression Service (SBPOK) to verify the allegations, collect relevant information and interview the individuals named in the complaint.
The second complaint names Justice Minister Nenad Vujić, Milet Jandrić, director of the Administration for the Enforcement of Criminal Sanctions, and Milica Radonjić, a special adviser to the minister, alongside 60 other identified individuals.
Those named include senior officials from several correctional institutions and district prisons, as well as their employees. The complaint also identifies unnamed senior officials, representatives and activists of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
The alleged offences include criminal conspiracy, abuse of official position, influence peddling, bribery and the acceptance of bribes in connection with voting, unauthorized collection of personal data, misconduct in public service, and racial and other forms of discrimination.
On November 4, prosecutors also instructed SBPOK to take the necessary investigative measures and verify the allegations in the second complaint. Police were directed to gather information from all individuals named, as well as anyone else who may have relevant knowledge of the events described.
The Prosecutor’s Office has not disclosed further details about the specific allegations or confirmed whether those named in the complaints have already been questioned.
The cases raise serious questions about the alleged involvement of Serbia’s security apparatus, government officials and ruling-party structures in violations of electoral rights. However, the allegations remain subject to investigation and have not yet been established by a court.
