The president of the municipality of Obrenovac, Milorad Grčić, was arrested by order of the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade on suspicion that, while he was the acting director of JP EPS, he and his associates damaged that public company, it was confirmed for Tanjug.
The arrest operation is still ongoing, and members of the police, in addition to Grčić, have arrested about ten more people.
Milorad Grčić was born on November 14, 1970, and states that he is an economist by profession.
In 1990, Grčić enrolled, as he told the media, in one faculty at the University of Belgrade, but that he “neglected it due to the war and sanctions” and that he finally dropped out in 2005. Then, he claims, he enrolled in Fabus – the Faculty of Service Management at the “Educons” University in Sremska Kamenica.
Grčić was once the owner of a cafe and a barbecue restaurant “Fantazija”.
