Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, Special Department for Combating Corruption

Nenad Stefanović's prosecutor's office moves fast against government critics and slowly against the government's own people. It has been investigating Milan Radoičić over Banjska since 2023 without bringing an indictment. It sat on a complaint about suspicious donations to the SNS for five years before concluding there were no grounds, and concluded of Siniša Mali that „there is no evidence“. Meanwhile, it prosecuted lawyer Čedomir Stojković and Novica Antić over their posts and sought detention and an arrest warrant for analyst Aleksandar Radić over his statements about the „sound cannon“. Stefanović also ordered that Zdravko Ponoš be brought in for questioning, an order the High Prosecutorial Council overturned.
