"Is it true that the Directorate for Building Land and Construction of the City of Belgrade signed a contract with the Millennium Team for the construction of 6 kilometers of access roads around the metro depot in Makiško Polje at a price of over 30 million euros per kilometer, which is 3 times more expensive than the most expensive highway?"
Is it true that the negotiations were conducted directly by Ivan Bošnjak, the owner of the Millennium Team, and Milan Vranić, the Director of the Directorate, even though the official contractor for the construction of the metro is the Chinese company Power China?
Does Power China know about this deal at inflated prices, or was it done behind their backs," wrote Vladimir Obradović, an MP from the Pravac Evropa parliamentary group, on the social network X (Twitter) on Tuesday.
Portal Nova S writes on this occasion that the Millennium team company has been receiving lucrative jobs from the state for years, and that the crowning moment was the state's decision to sell the prestigious Jaroslav Cherny Institute at an initial price of 2,58 million euros to the Millennium team and a consortium that includes seven directors of that institute.
That there is a certain connection between the Serbian Progressive Party and the Millennium Team, writes Nova S, also confirms that the co-owner of the company, Ivan Bošnjak, distributed gifts with the SNS logo to older fellow citizens in the progressives' commons in Banjica.
Relja Ognjenović, a member of the SNS Main Board and director of the PIO fund, boasted about this. On his Instagram page, he published a video from the premises of the local board of progressives in Banjica.
The insider previously revealed that the Millennium team was awarded jobs without a tender for the construction of smaller distribution gas pipelines, and was engaged in the "Belgrade on Water" project from the very beginning. At the end of 2018, they were awarded the job of building apartments for members of the security services in Nis and Vranje.
