The Serbian Military Union (VSS) affirmed that the declaration of the Defense Ministry, on the dismissal of the secretary general of the VSS, Predrag Jevtic, represents “a notorious lie and a cowardly deception of the public causing great damage to the reputation of our army and Serbia “.

The Ministry of Defense announced last night, on the occasion of the reaction of the Supreme Court to the final decision of the Military Court by which the general secretary of that union, Predrag Jevtic, lost his military service, that the military judiciary is independent and makes decisions “only in accordance with the law”.

Previously, the president of the Supreme Judicial Council, Novica Antic, described Jevtic’s treatment as illegal.

Journalist Kurir’s statement was presented to the Serbian Military Union, which unequivocally confirms that Predrag Jevtic, general secretary of the Supreme Judicial Council, is not the author of the controversial interview and that the innocent was unjustifiably and illegally punished. “Our colleague did not give him any statement. He was never called as a key witness to solve the ‘mystery’ behind the persecution and naked discrimination of Jevtic, worthy of some woolly times,” the Supreme Court said in a statement.

It is added that “military justice does not exist, and the military disciplinary bodies that call themselves courts, according to the position of the Constitutional Court of Serbia, adopted in decision IUz 391/2013 of 10.29.2015, are not courts and are part of the power judicial, but administrative bodies Ministry of Defense “.

“This clearly indicates that they are not independent, because if they were, they would issue press releases themselves, and not the information service of the Ministry of Defense, which was usurped and exclusively at the service of Alexander Vulin and the Socialist Movement,” said the union in a statement.

In a statement, the Supreme Judicial Council notes that “all military disciplinary bodies, which are considered courts, with the latest amendments to the Serbian Army Law, also made by Aleksandar Vulin, are subordinate to his personal lawyer and secretary of the Ministry of Defense Zoran Lazic “.

“We see Lazic as an instigator of an ‘organized criminal group’ within the defense system, united in a joint criminal enterprise to obstruct the union activities of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary and harm both the army and the state. It is absurd that they organs supervised by the secretary of a ministry and against whose final decisions it sued the Administrative Court, are considered courts ”, said the Supreme Court and asked why the ministry does not sue them if it considers that they are telling falsehoods.

The HJC notes that the Ministry of Defense in the statement “deliberately conceals the fact that the Serbian Army Law does not provide for any disciplinary responsibility to represent and represent trade unions, nor is it possible, taking into account the direct application of the Constitution and the international conventions ratified by Serbia “. .

In addition, everyone can read today that the Law of the Armed Forces, in its articles 145 and 146, clearly prescribes that members of the army are responsible for disciplinary violations of duty while on duty. On the other hand, Article 13 of the Labor Law says that the representative unions cannot be held liable to the employer for participating in union activities, “said the HJC.

The statement calls on Minister Vulin to annul the dismissal decision handed down to the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of the Judiciary on the basis of official supervision and return the case for a new procedure.
