After today’s session, the Council for the Fight against Corruption issued a press release for the first half only, probably due to the continued pressure it is under from the United Group.

Unlike the Sholak media, we have nothing to hide. Below we publish the full official letter that Igor Žeželj submitted to the Anti-Corruption Council.

We invite readers to judge for themselves whether this official letter represents pressure or an invitation to dialogue.

“Dear members of the Council:

I am writing to you as the owner and director of Wireless Media doo Belgrade, as the umbrella company of the group of legal entities within which Mondo Inc doo Belgrade, Adria Media Group doo Belgrade, as well as various print and digital media, including daily ‘Kurir’. .

The reason for my speech are prior public appearances by some members of the Council, claims and announced actions of the Council at the request of Ms. Marinika Tepic, Vice President of the Freedom and Justice Party, whose president is Mr. Dragan Djilas, regarding of the commercial relationship between my companies and Telekom Srbija ad Belgrade.

For all the above, I would like to draw your attention to certain circumstances and facts that are important to respect the law in the work of all bodies, institutions and citizens of the Republic of Serbia, fair and market commercial entities, but also the protection of the legitimate rights guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws of the Republic of Serbia. of all its citizens.

1. First of all, I would like to point out that the Council, as an advisory body to the Government that, in addition to members of the Government and officials, must be made up of prominent national and foreign scientists and experts with recognized knowledge and reputation, is silent for months. performances of its members who, I believe they were not invited, act on behalf of the Council. I am referring, of course, to Ms. Jelisaveta Vasilić, who uses her public appearances, in addition to emphasizing her capacity as a member of the Council, for a personal confrontation with me and with the companies that operate within the group of legal entities of which I am the ultimate owner, primarily Adria Media Group and the media. Delivery courier ‘. I have no doubt that such appearances and statements by Ms Vasilić, presenting a plethora of unfounded and flat business ratings of Wireless Media, Mondo Inc and Adria Media Group companies, and under the guise of fighting corruption, are motivated solely by reasons of personal intolerance and in response to the publication. Objective and objective information in ‘Kurir’ about Ms Vasilić’s personal connection with United Group and its ‘Nova S’ media, which are our competition in the market. Furthermore, during those biased appearances and irresponsible statements, Ms. Vasilić, describing the business relationship between Wireless Media and Telekom Srbija, persistently insists on the alleged abuse and damage to public property, as she personally, according to my expert advisers, legally misclassifies the property of Telekom Srbija. and her business, thus giving importance to the whole, on the part of the participants of political life, a matter of political motivation and trying to cover up the lack of essence.

I say this with the intention of pointing out the material and moral damages that I personally, the companies that I own and Telekom Srbija as a majority state-owned company, suffered due to the irresponsible and malicious behavior of a member of the Council. I also point out to you that when this whole fabricated matter is resolved, and I have no doubt that it will be proven that there is nothing illegal, dishonest, or harmful in the Wireless Media business or any of my other companies, I will sue and initiate against all persons. and responsible agencies. or institution, appropriate procedures to determine liability and compensation for damages intentionally inflicted on me personally and my companies.

I also believe that in order to respect the legality and general principles of fair and objective decision-making of all public institutions, bodies and authorities, including consultative ones such as the Council, it is necessary to carefully assess the existence of reasons to exclude Ms Vasilic from the job. Ms. Tepic and the Freedom and Justice Party, due to the existence of a conflict of interest. The specific facts supporting this request, regarding the personal and business ties of Ms. Vasilic’s family member with ‘Nova S’, United Group and indirectly with Mr. Dragan Solak and Dragan Djilas, can easily be found in the articles published in the newspaper ‘Kurir’, and I can provide them on request.

2. With regard to the announced Council decision on Ms Marinika Tepić’s application and the Council’s action in this regard, ie the assessment of the contract between Wireless Media and Telekom Srbija as allegedly corrupt, I would like to point out a few more facts important.

First, I hope the Council knows that Ms. Marinika Tepić presented the Council with a copy of the contract that was illegally obtained or ‘stolen’ from the business archives of Wireless Media or Telekom Srbija, where at least one crime was committed. actions of the competent Public Ministry on the criminal complaint filed. I think there is no need to emphasize to you the legal or other consequences of using a document that is a trade secret and was obtained illegally, and is incomplete because one side is missing.

In addition to the above, although the Council is an advisory body, without specific public powers, I believe that the members of the Council as an organ of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, who are mostly lawyers, do not dispute it in any formal or informal procedure , especially in the process of evaluating someone’s legal actions. Obtain as many facts as possible and listen to and consider the arguments of all participants or interested parties. In this sense, as a citizen of the Republic of Serbia and a participant in economic life, I find it incomprehensible and unacceptable that during all this time while the media lynching of me and my companies lasts, in which members of the Council unfortunately participate, the Council did not consider it necessary to convene talks. any part of the business relationship that must evaluate or request any information, document or statement on any circumstance related to the whole case. This action of the Council is also inexplicable to me, considering that you evaluate a supposedly extremely important and complex business relationship on the basis of an incomplete document, which is a framework contract, without further information on other emerging acts and contracts and actions of the contracting parties. this work, which is carried out by more than 600 employees and committed people within the group of which I am the head.

In this sense, and again taking into account that the Council must be composed of experts of recognized prestige and that in this particular case the Council must assess the justification, validity and possible corruption of the contract that foresees and produces complex economic and legal consequences, It is inexplicable that the Board considers that for such an assessment it is not necessary to take into account or obtain economic-financial analysis, data and expert opinions, before reaching its own conclusion, which must certainly be based on adequate, complete and indisputable facts. At this point, I will only introduce you to one circumstance that you may not have been aware of, that the business cooperation between Wireless Media and Telekom Srbija under a specific contract was the subject of analysis and evaluation by two renowned auditing and consulting firms, and as You know, Telekom Srbija’s business was subject to audit by the State Audit Institution.

The rush of the Council to act at the request of Ms Tepic and the rush of the Council members to draw conclusions and make statements, without considering all the relevant facts and obtaining all the necessary, and above all professional data and analysis, can only be characterized as a consequence of the pressure of individuals in political life. and through their media and representatives in public they act on the Council and its members, which I believe is neither desirable nor acceptable for any impartial member of the Council who conscientiously fulfills her duty.

For these reasons, I ask and appeal to all members of the Council not to allow themselves to get involved in fabricated political affairs and not to allow their reputation and the reputation of the Council to be compromised by biased and unscrupulous actions in favor of a market participant and, therefore, to the detriment of other participants. competition in the market. I hope that you will accept my call to act in accordance with the law and general legal and social principles, consciously and objectively, and that the members of the Council do not expose themselves to material and non-material liability for knowingly damaging my reputation or damaging me personally or my companies or other market participants, including Telekom Srbija.

With respect,

Igor Žeželj
