Club Velež, Photo: print screenLegendary Velež player Vladimir Pecelj claims his property in Mostar was stolen because he is Serbian.
Velež’s record holder, with 425 games played for the club, regrets having naively believed in the legal system in the long-running legal battle.
“I am disappointed, angry, hurt, humiliated and I don’t know what words to describe how I feel about the shock I experienced,” Pecelj told Klix.ba.
In 1988 Vladimir bought a space in a new building and four years later he went to Belgrade with his family. When he returned in 2001, he learned that a neighbor had broken through a wall and connected his apartment to his, and bricked up his door.
“When we returned in 2001, finding out about all this, I handed over the case to the Municipal Court of Mostar, which immediately issued the decision to return my property. However, she appealed and the process was transferred to the Cantonal Court, which in 2003 also issued a decision to return my property. So he kept filing appeals and the property restitution process became a long-standing story, “says the former soccer player.
Then, in 2008, the Mostar Municipal Court demanded the execution of the verdict and the return of the apartment, and again in 2011, but to no avail.
“In 2015, the Mostar Cantonal Court definitively rejected all her appeals and ordered that the space be returned to me, and in 2017 an execution verdict was issued. But since she lived in Sweden, they could not locate her, although I my family from the first verdict in 2003 until 2019 he sought contact with her and execution. So in 2019 we finally took possession after 16 years, in the presence of the police, “says Pecelj.
Unfortunately, the story did not end there. The person who usurped her space filed an appeal with the FBIH Supreme Court.
“We did not even know it until July 15 of this year, when we received a decision from the Cantonal Court that we had to return the keys to his apartment and pay the costs from the beginning of the whole process,” says the former soccer ace .
“I received shocking information from people at the top of the judiciary that this could not have happened if I were not Serbian. Then I discovered that it was actually a political story and that the neighbor who usurped my space was close to people from the SDA” said Pecelj. lives in Trebinje, but intends to continue fighting for his home.
He claims that certain people at the top of the judiciary openly told him that the Constitutional Court had violated all the provisions of this law.
“I have proof that my assets are one-to-one and I will not give up. I have already addressed the Court of Appeal and my lawyer asked for the exclusion of Bosnians from this case for the above reasons. I will fight through the institutions to return what I it is mine, there is also the Constitutional Court, but if necessary, I will also go to the human rights court in Strasbourg, “said Pecelj.
He believes that this could not have happened even in the wildest dreams if there had been no war, but, as he emphasizes, he will continue to fight for justice in his Mostar.
“My late wife was born in Mostar, my parents were buried in this city and my children were born and we want to return to our Mostar,” concluded Pecelj.
The famous ace from Velež currently lives in Trebinje.
