A private university where Nebojša Stefanović earned his doctorate in 2013 under its rector and founder, Mića Jovanović. When three scientists announced in 2014 that the dissertation was „riddled with plagiarism“, the university's Senate and a commission concluded there were no grounds to annul it, while the Peščanik website came under hacker attacks for days that, according to the portal, originated from Megatrend's servers. The same year, the Ministry of Education established that the rector did not hold the London School of Economics doctorate he had claimed, and he resigned.
