In 2022, a month after Aleksandar Šapić became mayor, the municipality he had run for ten years legalised a 403 square metre (gross) flat for him, even though municipalities can legalise at most 400; according to BIRN, the building did not exist in that form in 2015, which is the basic condition for legalisation. Ahead of the 2022 elections it said it had not certified the signatures for the „Russian Minority Alliance“ list, even though they bore its stamp.
