The Coalition for the Supervision of Public Finance asked the newly elected member of the Fiscal Council, Dr. Bojan Dimitrijevic, to “declare without delay whether he was a member of the Serbian Progressive Party at the time of the election to that independent state body.” Economists and lawyers point out that the Fiscal Council resisted for a long time and was one of the few institutions that criticized the Government, which was especially evident during the discussion on the budget for 2021. In addition, the new member of the Fiscal Council demonstrated unusual interests into a doctor of economics.
Trade, fiscal deficit, percentages of GDP … You hope that the most viewed videos on the Internet about this will be someone who is a member of the Fiscal Council. But the new member of that body is completely different. Namely, Bojan Dimitrijević is by far the greatest connoisseur of the myth of Atlantis in Serbia.
“The inhabitants of Atlantis had a third eye, unlike people today, they could fly and move things,” Dimitrijevic said on a television show.
However, not even that, in addition to all the functions it has performed in the past, recommended for a new member of the body who must control the use of citizens’ money. Namely, in 2008, Dimitrijević transferred from the SPO to the then new SNS.
FEFA Professor Goran Radosavljević Election of Dimitrijević as a usurpation of the last bastion of independent institutions.
“It was only a matter of time before that happened. Which is also interesting, aside from the fact that party personnel have been appointed and someone who performs another function, if you look at the new member’s story, why wouldn’t it be Is that a kind of continuity? ”asks Radosavljevic.
The Budget System Law explicitly prohibits a member of a party from being a member of the fiscal council.
A member of the Fiscal Council, Nikola Altiparmakov, briefly told H1 that he will appreciate his new colleague for the work he will demonstrate.
“It does not occur to me to comment on the new colleague … We will work together, so we will see,” Altiparmakov said.
The former head of another independent state body, Rodoljub Sabic, recalls that it has already become the norm for the SNS voting machinery to place its people in places where independent and non-partisan people should sit, regardless of whether they are party members or people. . close strangers. There is no difference, Sabic says.
“The Anti-Corruption Agency also chose a man who has undoubted connections to the party, who was both its financier and candidate in the elections. He also resigned his membership before the elections. He also has a high official in the position of governor. Although there is an explicit prohibition in the BIA for any member of the BIA to be a member of the party, a high-ranking SNS official has been appointed director ”, recalls the former commissioner of information of public importance and protection of personal data.
During the discussion on the budget for 2021, the Fiscal Council was attacked by the deputies of the Serbian Progressive Party.
In his career, Dimitrijevic was the city’s finance secretary during the SPO government, and he was also Minister of Commerce in the first Kostunica government. Until his election as a member of the Fiscal Council, he served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mts Bank, owned by the state-owned Telekom Srbija.
