Slobodan Simeunović from the village of Kruševica near Lazarevac was convicted last year for driving a car without a license. However, he neither knows how to drive nor has he ever been in that car. This is the story of his struggle to prove his innocence.

Secret Contract: How Serbia Bought Medical Equipment During the Pandemic

Each year, municipalities and cities throughout Serbia donate money to the Čačak-based association Tri Plus to support families with three or more children. There is never an open competition for this, and no one has ever asked for evidence on how those funds are spent.

In one of the best locations on Kopaonik, with direct ski slope access, apartment buildings have been under illegal construction for years. Despite warnings, bans, and court proceedings, they have not been demolished to this day. Instead, they serve as an example of how illegal construction in a protected area is tolerated.

Investigative journalists are engaged in uncovering important facts that someone wants to cover up, often pitting them against the will of powerful social groups, which is why investigative journalism is the riskiest form of journalism.

On the road from Mionica to the village of Struganik, trucks loaded with stone pass by every few minutes. Thin stone blocks and ‘for sale’ signs are stacked on either side of the road. Stone is very important for this region, and it is also the main source of income for some residents. Jelena Jovičić Petrović, who grew up in the area, says that the nature here is beautiful and that she never thought it could disappear. However, the rapidly expanding Kamalj quarry seems to have proven her wrong.

Near Palić, some 200 meters from the border with Hungary, is a salaš (a traditional type of farm in the Pannonian Plain) with a swimming pool, surrounded by fields, owned by the ruling party. It is just one of the four locations at which the Serbian Progressive Party has real estate worth 224 million dinars in total, CINS reveals. Aside from the party’s needs, the real estate may serve as loan collateral, and regardless of whether it bought the real estate with its own or with citizens’ money the party can also sell it.

The doctoral thesis of the Governor of the National bank of Serbia is full of paragraphs literally copied from works of other authors, without quoting them. In some sentences, synonyms such as “changeable” instead of “variable” make the only difference, while some other sentences are repeated twice without quoting the source.

The Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia (CINS) monitors the development of coronavirus in Serbia and its impact on the lives of people. This is why, since the beginning of the epidemic, we publish official data on the number of people tested, confirmed new cases, hospitalized, people on respirators and deceased. Since we recorded a low number of new cases for couple of weeks in April 2022, from April 24, we will not publish data every day, but once a week.
