Following the appearance and interview of the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, in the show “Ćirilica Milomira Marića” broadcast yesterday on Prva TV, in which he made shameless claims that disparage and criminalize public prosecutors of the Office of the Prosecutor for Organized Crime, the Collegium of the Office of the Prosecutor for Organized Crime informs the public that Vučić exceeded and abused his powers granted by law and the Constitution and attempted to exert inappropriate and unlawful influence on this prosecution by commenting on ongoing criminal investigations, the statement said.
“With offensive and false statements, Aleksandar Vučić once again targets acting prosecutors and tries, from the position of authority and power as the President of the Republic, to exert unlawful influence on the outcome of initiated proceedings by claiming that these are ‘fabricated cases,’” the statement emphasized.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, such inadmissible statements by the President of the Republic, which demean and slander holders of judicial functions, in addition to creating a public image of unlawful conduct and an atmosphere of lynching, directly obstruct justice and undermine the constitutional and legal order and the rule of law.
To recall, the President of Serbia, while speaking about the case being conducted against several officials for allegedly falsifying documentation in the process of removing the protected status from the General Staff complex, referred to some prosecutors from the Office for Organized Crime as criminals and a corrupt gang.
“Let me tell you — you are a corrupt gang in the prosecution offices, in most of them, you have as many corrupt judges under your control as you want, with whom you work, but I also believe that the majority of prosecutors and judges are honest and responsible people,” Vučić said.
According to him, “that corrupt gang from certain prosecution offices invented the case about the renovation of the General Staff.”
He also accused other judges and prosecutors of “releasing every day those who attack people on the street with rods and sticks,” adding that he is “just waiting for them to release the one who shot a man.”
“Every day — both prosecutors and judges. Sometimes prosecutors refuse to prosecute someone, but even more often judges want to show that they are blockers, perhaps to prove something to someone abroad,” Vučić stated.
He added that 10 percent of people in Serbia “can’t stand him” because of his attitude toward “corrupt judges and prosecutors.”
“Thanks to the corrupt gang that takes money and has been sticking together for 20 years like the worst kind of mafia. They always work directly against the state. This was set up from abroad,” Vučić said.
