Serbian lawyer Bozo Prelevic has warned that opening Security and Information Agency files ( BIA could cause major political shocks in Serbia, questioning links between security services, political power and criminal structures.
In an interview for the Serbian magazine édarão, published on Saturday, Prelevic has said that one of the issues that would have to be clarified is whether BIA politician and leader Marko Parrezanovic, could answer the question if Oliver Ivanov was under surveillance and surveillance at the time he was killed, and who had ordered his deployment under these measures.
Imagine what a shock would be caused if files were opened, Prelevic declared, citing the possibility of the discovery of cash recipients by Slavisa Lucic’s Telecom.
He has estimated that the security services in Serbia for a long time have worked without sufficient institutional control, while part of them, according to him, instead of dealing with the protection of citizens and state, have been used to protect the ruling party’s interests.
Prelevic, former judge and former interior minister in the transitional government after the collapse of Slobodan Milosevic’s regime, has said that security services should be reformed on the ground and put under effective parliamentary and judicial control.
According to him, a possible solution would be to divide functions into three structures: intelligence, counterintelligence and technical service, which could be put into the service of security and prosecutorial institutions, according to clear procedures.
He has also warned that changing directors or the name of institutions does not guarantee real reforms, whether the same structures and practices remain within them.
In the interview, Prelevic also mentioned the case of Milan Radojic and Zvonko Veselinovic, claiming that while he was in the Interior Ministry, criminal proceedings were initiated against them for drugs, but that the prosecutor had quit prosecution, though, according to him, they had accepted the works.
He has stressed that links between security services, justice, politics and the media constitute one of the main obstacles to democratic changes in Serbia.
Prelevic has warned that without reforming security services there can be no lasting change in power relations in the country. / Source: Radar
