The rise and fall of Grčić
Milorad Grcic was arrested while he was the president of SO Obrenovac, and he was appointed to that position in July 2024.
Before that, he held the position of advisor to the City Manager of Belgrade, Miroslav Čučković.
His political rise began with the coming to power of the SNS, so in October 2012 he became the director of the 'Kolubara' mining basin.
In October 2015, he moved to the position of director of the Office for Corporate Social Responsibility and Relations with Local Communities in EPS, and on March 15, 2016 was appointed acting director of EPS.
After he resigned from the position of acting director of EPS on January 12, 2022, on May 1, 2022, he was appointed assistant to the president of the Municipality of Obrenovac.
At the end of December 2022, he was re-elected as the president of the SNS Municipal Board in Obrenovac, and in July 2024, he was elected as the president of the Obrenovac City Municipality.
Grcic is a member of the Serbian Progressive Party and the president of the Municipal Board in Obrenovac. He was a councilor in the Obrenovac Municipal Assembly and deputy mayor in charge of economy and investments in two mandates, from mid-2005 to early 2010.
He was the main actor of several affairs, and former Minister of Mining and Energy Zorana Mihajlović filed a criminal complaint against him in 2022.
In the application, it was stated that by acting negligently and exceeding his authority, he caused damage to the state of more than 500 million euros and threatened its security system.
"The bastards and rascals of the blockaders used Vidovdan to announce the final physical confrontation with students who just want to study and fulfill their constitutionally guaranteed right to knowledge and education. Attacks on them will not be allowed," says the President of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić
The trial of SNS activists for the attack on students in Novi Sad was postponed because one of the accused did not appear. According to the defense, he is undergoing treatment. The court scheduled a new hearing for June 30
Vidovdan will be marked by two opposing gatherings in Belgrade - a student protest and a gathering of government supporters. The regime media is already announcing violence. Is intimidation and dissuading of citizens from protesting at work?
How did the former partner of Minister Darko Glišić rapidly advance in her career and become the owner of several properties in exclusive locations?
What are the constitutional powers, and what is the real role of the head of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, Đur Matsut, in the political theater of Aleksandar Vučić. And what kind of responsibility does his consent to the degradation and deception of citizens entail
Aleksandar Vučić now has only the old, proven methods of classic dictatorships left, because these modern methods of insanity and poisoning the public are failing. And that, however, goes against his head
Vučić is not defending the state, but himself from the state. With a drum on his back and a guitar in his hands, this man-orchestra performs two or three of the same songs without hearing, with falsifications and falling out of rhythm. His government and politics are like that. In short - dangerous for the environment
Arrests of professors, punishment of people, firing of journalists... The regime of Aleksandar Vučić is shining and is yet to shine. It is the decadent phase of the regime, the one towards the end
