An organisation that, together with YUCOM, filed a criminal complaint in 2023 against former minister Ratko Dmitrović and staff of the Ministry for Family Care over funding calls for phantom associations; by February 2026 the prosecution had taken no action. It was put on a list by the Administration for the Prevention of Money Laundering, which it called an abuse of the mechanism to intimidate, and in 2021, together with other organisations, it filed a criminal complaint against the Administration.
