Nenadic

Vulin spoke in the RTS daily news about the fight against organized crime and said that there are no big and small drug dealers, just as there are no light and heavy drugs.

All arrested individuals are suspected of associating in order to commit crimes, kidnappings and aggravated murder, said this morning the prosecutor for organized crime, Mladen Nenadi. As he stated, searches and raids are underway at about 30 locations, RTS and Tanjug reported.

The new Serbian organized crime prosecutorMladen Nenadic not only faces a tough job dealing with his caseload, but will be under close scrutiny because he was a controversial choice for the job.

After several hours of debate in the Serbian National Assembly on Monday, 139 of the 169 MPs present voted for Nenadic.

Watchdog organisation Transparency Serbia told BIRN that the Nenadic case will be a good test of the effectiveness of the recently-adopted legislation protecting whisteblowers.

"This case will show how effective the new law is, because we haven't had such a case since the enactment of the law," said Bojana Medenica from Transparency Serbia.
