The president of the People’s Party, Vladimir Gajić, has filed a criminal complaint against the Supreme Public Prosecutor Zagorka Dolovac, member of the High Prosecutorial Council Predrag Ćetković, and the chief appellate prosecutor in Novi Sad Tatjana Lagumdžija. Gajić claims that Ćetković was under investigation for money laundering through fictitious legal invoices but concealed this fact when applying for membership in the High Prosecutorial Council. He also alleges that Dolovac, allegedly influenced by Lagumdžija, halted the investigation against Ćetković. The criminal complaint includes other individuals connected to an organized criminal network. The People’s Party had earlier submitted an initiative to determine the responsibility of Zagorka Dolovac for failure to perform public duties, which was validated by the Serbian Parliament.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets emphasize the allegations of corruption and abuse of power within the Serbian judiciary, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability. They focus on the systemic issues of corruption and the political influence over judicial processes, portraying the complaint as a step towards justice and reform.
Center: Centrist sources report the facts of the criminal complaint and the political context without strong bias, presenting statements from all involved parties. They emphasize the legal procedures and the importance of due process, while noting the political implications and the ongoing debate about judicial independence in Serbia.
Right: Right-leaning media tend to highlight the accusations against the judiciary as evidence of deep-rooted corruption and the failure of the current government to ensure rule of law. They may frame the complaint as a political move by the opposition to challenge the ruling authorities and call for stronger measures against corruption and judicial misconduct.
