Serbia’s Green-Left Front (Zeleno-levi front, ZLF) has called on prosecutors to launch a comprehensive investigation into the business activities of Millennium Team, arguing that the inquiry should extend beyond a single construction permit to cover the company’s wider network of contracts with state institutions and the City of Belgrade.
The party urged prosecutors to examine Millennium Team’s involvement in major projects, including Goša, Belgrade Waterfront, the Hotel Yugoslavia redevelopment and Expo 2027.
It also called for scrutiny of contracts, subsidies, amendments to urban planning regulations, donations to state institutions and the role of public officials who facilitated the company’s business activities.
“Anyone against whom there are grounds for suspicion must be held accountable, regardless of how powerful their political protector may have been,” the party said in a statement.
ZLF said the reported arrest warrants for the two owners of Millennium Team, over suspicions that construction work was carried out without a permit at the site of the former Hotel Yugoslavia, did not come as a surprise.
The party has repeatedly accused the company of operating as an extension of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) administration and benefiting from its political connections.
ZLF recalled its previous criticism of Millennium Team’s alleged involvement in the demolition of buildings in Belgrade’s Savamala district and its business activities connected to the Belgrade Waterfront development.
It also pointed to the company’s role in major state-backed projects, including Expo 2027, the National Stadium and the removal of the Old Sava Bridge.
According to ZLF, questions about the relationship between Millennium Team and the SNS have extended beyond commercial dealings. The party cited reports that Finance Minister Siniša Mali’s brother had used a car and an apartment provided by the company.
ZLF also alleged that Millennium Team had made substantial donations to the police, the same institution that, according to the party, had recently delayed implementing prosecutors’ orders related to the arrests of the company’s owners.
The opposition party further accused Millennium Team of responding to public criticism through legal action rather than addressing the allegations.
It said the company sued ZLF in 2021, seeking €100,000 in damages over alleged harm to its reputation and trademark.
Dobrica Veselinović, a ZLF representative who publicly discussed the lawsuit, was also sued for the same amount.
Another party representative, Radomir Lazović, faced legal action after writing an open letter to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in early 2025, in which he raised concerns about alleged corruption mechanisms surrounding Expo 2027 contracts awarded without public tenders to Millennium Team and companies linked to Zvonko Veselinović and Milan Radoičić.
ZLF added that Millennium Team had also filed a private criminal complaint against party representative Natalija Stojmenović, accusing her of damaging the company’s business reputation and creditworthiness.
The party said all of these legal proceedings remain ongoing.
ZLF maintains that prosecutors should investigate the company’s entire relationship with state institutions rather than limiting their attention to the construction allegations involving the former Hotel Yugoslavia.
