According to BIRN, since 2021 it has paid RSD 8.7 million across six procurements to an agency, and later a company, Gradske info, owned by the sister of minister Nemanja Starović. Each time it was the only bidder and each time it was paid in full in advance. Nemanja Nenadić of Transparency Serbia called it „a staggering case of rigged public procurement“. It did not respond to BIRN's questions, and no institution has examined the procurements.
