Arrest warrants issued for Millennium Team owners over construction at former Hotel Jugoslavija site

The two individuals are company officials at Millennium Team d.o.o. Prosecutors have also issued an order to locate A. Đ., a representative of Danube Riverside d.o.o., on suspicion of the criminal offence of construction without a building permit.

The Prosecutor's Office had previously launched an investigation into the construction work. As part of the investigation, the relevant building inspection authority visited the site at the prosecution's request to establish the circumstances of the case.

Prosecutors said that all relevant documentation necessary for further proceedings and legally prescribed actions had been collected.

The individuals subject to the arrest order appeared at a police station today, where they stated that they had submitted requests to the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade seeking the recusal of the Chief Public Prosecutor of the Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office, the prosecutor handling the case and two expert witnesses involved in the investigation.

According to the Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office, the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office had not informed it that these requests had been submitted.

Citing the urgency of the proceedings and statutory deadlines for procedural actions, the Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office called on the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade to rule on the recusal requests without delay, within its legal jurisdiction.

It said a prompt decision was necessary to ensure that the proceedings could continue lawfully and without obstruction.

According to unofficial information, the arrest order concerns Stojan Vujko and Ivan Bošnjak, the owners of Millennium Team.
