SERBIAN TIMES REPORT CONFIRMED: Vučić Pardoned Dijana Hrkalović and Four Other People, Including a Man Accused of Attempted Aggravated Murder!

The Higher Court in Belgrade has published the list of five people pardoned by former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić. Among them is Dijana Hrkalović, former State Secretary at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who was released from criminal prosecution for influence peddling. The pardon also covered Marko Pavlović, who was facing proceedings for attempted aggravated murder in a case involving the severe injury of student Sonja Ponjavić.

The Higher Court in Belgrade announced on November 2 that it had received the pardon decision issued by Aleksandar Vučić on September 27, 2026, while he was still serving as President of the Republic.

The decision covered five people, four of whom were released from criminal prosecution, while one person was released from further serving a prison sentence.

Dijana Hrkalović released from criminal prosecution for influence peddling

According to the statement issued by the Higher Court in Belgrade, those pardoned include Nebojša Đokić and Dijana Hrkalović, whose cases were being handled by the Special Department for Organized Crime.

“By decision of the President of Serbia, Nebojša Đokić has been released from criminal prosecution for the criminal offense of money laundering under Article 245 of the Criminal Code, in a case being heard before the Special Department for Organized Crime of the Higher Court in Belgrade. The same decision released Dijana Hrkalović from criminal prosecution for the criminal offense of influence peddling, in proceedings also being conducted before the Special Department for Organized Crime,” the court announced.

This means Hrkalović has been covered by a presidential pardon in the proceedings brought against her over influence peddling.

Man accused in case involving severely injured student also pardoned

The list of those pardoned also includes Marko Pavlović, who was released from criminal prosecution for the criminal offense of attempted aggravated murder.

The case is connected to the incident in which student Sonja Ponjavić was seriously injured.

Under the pardon, Pavlović was released from further criminal prosecution for the aforementioned offense.

Two more people pardoned

The pardon decision also covered Dragana Živadinović, who was released from criminal prosecution for the criminal offenses of abuse of official position and falsification of an official document.

The fifth person on the list is Miloš Dugalić, whose pardon request was submitted on August 20, 2026.

Unlike the other pardoned individuals, Dugalić had previously been convicted by a final judgment, and the former president’s decision released him from further serving his prison sentence.

“In addition, Miloš Dugalić was also pardoned, with his pardon request, submitted on August 20, 2026, having been approved. He was released from further serving the prison sentence imposed by a ruling of the Belgrade Court of Appeals dated March 20, 2025,” the Higher Court stated.

Decision issued on September 27, received by the court on November 2

Although the pardon decision was issued on September 27, the Higher Court in Belgrade announced that it did not receive it until November 2.

The published list includes Dijana Hrkalović, Nebojša Đokić, Marko Pavlović, Dragana Živadinović and Miloš Dugalić.

Four of them were released from criminal prosecution for the offenses they had been charged with, while Dugalić was released from further serving his prison sentence.
