Vesna Medenica is obliged to explain to the public why she hid that she had sold her property to a family friend, controversial businessman Zoran Be\u0107irovi\u0107, through the complex structure of domestic and offshore companies. Such schemes are a school example of money laundering through the real estate trade, which the former Supreme State Prosecutor and the President of the Supreme Court in her third term should know.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Medenica confirmed yesterday that she had sold the disputed land and that she did not report nearly \u20ac140,000<\/strong>. There is no doubt that she has thus violated the law, and we expect her to be held accountable before the bodies of the Judicial Council.<\/u><\/p>\n

However, even more important is the issue of the origin of money she received and the motive of Be\u0107irovi\u0107 to secretly buy Vesna Medenica’s land in the wider area of Kola\u0161in for a significant amount, as well as to keep his name hidden behind Cypriot and domestic companies.<\/p>\n

Although it is unlikely that Medenica did not know who was hiding behind the companies she did business with, it is good that for the first time, after MANS’ findings, she admitted to the public that she has had long-standing friendship with Be\u0107irovi\u0107.<\/p>\n

This statement certainly explains why during her term of office as head of the State Prosecutor’s Office (2003-2007) Vesna Medenica did not investigate suspicious business through which Be\u0107irovi\u0107 made enormous profits at the expense of the state.<\/p>\n

Thus, during her term of office, Be\u0107irovi\u0107 and his partners purchased Avala Hotel for \u20ac 3.2 million, although it was estimated at nearly seven million.<\/p>\n

The company connected to Be\u0107irovi\u0107 also bought over three million square feet of land in Kola\u0161in for only \u20ac120,000, although it was estimated at nearly ten million shortly afterwards.<\/p>\n

While Medenica was at the middle of her term as the Supreme State Prosecutor, Be\u0107irovi\u0107’s late brother and Milo\u0161 Marovi\u0107, hiding behind a Cypriot offshore, signed a contract with the Municipality of Budva to build an aqua park. The epilogue to this deal was a loan of \u20ac1.5 million taken by Be\u0107irovi\u0107 and Marovi\u0107 and repaid by the Municipality of Budva.<\/p>\n

We once again invite Vesna Medenica to disclose to the public all the details of the secret deal with Be\u0107irovi\u0107 and explain whether the money was used only to pay for the land in wider Kola\u0161in area, or whether there is room for suspicion of trading in influence.<\/p>\n
