Apartment Deal and License: Serbia Investigates Potential Corruption
Serbia Investigates Potential Conflict of Interest in Media Licensing A recent investigation by the Center for Investigative Reporting in Serbia (CINS) has shed light on a potential conflict of interest involving Olivera Zekić, who acquired an apartment from prominent figures Jovana and Željko Joksimović shortly before receiving a national frequency license. The CINS report raises questions about the timing of the purchase and whether it influenced the licensing decision. While the exact financial details remain undisclosed, the close proximity of the events has sparked public debate and calls for greater transparency in the media licensing process. "It's an exceptionally serious affair," says the video's creator, referencing the CINS findings. The video highlights the fact that Zekić did not report the apartment purchase to the relevant anti-corruption agency, raising further concerns. The report also mentions Zekić's reported income, which is significantly lower than the likely cost of the apartment, suggesting a possible discrepancy. This investigation underscores the importance of transparency and accountability in the media sector. Further investigation is needed to fully determine the extent of any potential wrongdoing and to ensure that such situations are avoided in the future. The public awaits the outcome of the agency's review and whether any legal violations occurred.
