People’s Party Vice President Borislav Novaković said today that the police could “arrest” Ivan Kontić, suspected of brutally beating a young man in Novi Sad, in 15 minutes, but that he did not do so because he is part of the SNS system for buy votes in elections. and that the lack of a quick police response was evidence of an “obvious link between crime and the government.”
Borislav Novakovic Photo: N1 (file)“Everything happened in a crowded place in Novi Sad, the event was filmed by cameras and there are witnesses. That means that after 15 minutes, the police knew who the culprit was. However, when such information reaches the Novi Sad police, it is first checked if the culprit is protected and if he is in the system of power and hierarchy of the SNS. If so, then they don’t touch it, “Novakovic told H1 television.
Novakovic pointed out that in Novi Sad, “there is no large or small criminal who is not included in the SNS vote buying system”, because nowhere else in Novi Sad has the system of voting been applied so intensively and extensively. vote buying in elections.
“I can sign that claim. I do not believe the mayor of Novi Sad, Miloš Vučević, when he says that Kontić has nothing to do with the SNS,” Novaković said.
Novakovic, who is also a former mayor of Novi Sad, called on Novi Sad police chief Goran Susnjic to resign immediately, because “there would be no investigation if the images of the beating had not appeared in public almost 20 days after the event”.
Regarding the project for the construction of apartments on the bank of the Danube near Novi Sad, known as “Novi Sad on the water”, Novakovic said that the project consists of moving the embankment 500 meters to the riverbed and 4.5 kilometers of long, for investors to get 165 hectares. build land and build houses that would be sold at a price of 2,500 euros to 3,000 euros per square meter.
“Apart from the criminal dimension of that effort, there are also security aspects, because the course of the river will narrow and the Danube will accelerate.” This cannot be done without the permission of the Budapest-based Danube Commission, and no such permission exists. This would also create an artificial barrier to flood waters, whereby the waves would spread over settlements in the city and cause major flooding, “Novakovic said.
Novakovic pointed out that the construction of “Novi Sad on the water” implies the cutting down of 130 hectares of forest in Kamenicka Ada and Sordos, which represents the lung of the city, which would be a pure ecocide.
“It is a place where the citizens of Novi Sad should participate in recreational activities, running, exercising, walking and playing sports. There are no residential buildings on those four kilometers of coastline.” The Danube bank in Novi Sad belongs to the citizens. , and not to the construction mafia and those who are willing to pay 3,000 euros per square meter, “said Novakovic.
Novakovic stated that the “Galens” company owns a shipyard in Novi Sad and that it intends to build a building of up to 20 floors there, on the same bank of the Danube.
“It is completely insane. The construction of such a large building would mean that half the inhabitants of the Liman settlement would no longer have a view of Fruška gora, but of that behemoth,” Novaković said.
Novakovic added that the public revealed the government’s plans for Novi Sad on water, because it came into possession of the General Urban Plan until 2031 and the General Planning Plan.
“We also have the opinion of the” Jaroslav Cerni “Water Management Institute, which twice gave an expert opinion that the project cannot pass the side of the experts,” Novakovic said.
“It is clear that the urban mafia wants to reach the banks of the Danube in Novi Sad because it is profitable,” concluded Novakovic.
