Petnica

In the coming days in Belgrade, three girls who claim to have been the victims of sexual harassment as former students of the Petnica research station will give statements to the police.

Nikola Bozic, the director of the Petnica Research Station has resigned, the head of the scientific education facility's managing board, Tanja Adnadjevic, told Serbian public broadcaster RTS on Wednesday.

Portal B92.net contacted Nikola Boi for comment.

He was first marked as "S" in the media, and is accused of carrying out long-term sexual abuse of female students in this scientific institution.
According to Novosti, the inspectors found crowds, almost a hundred photographs of naked girls, often of explicit content, including many minors, in the apartment where he lives.

The Public Prosecutor's Office in Valjevo, western Serbia, has opened a pre-investigation into allegations of sexual violence in the Petnica Science Centre, the Serbian daily Danas reported on Friday.

Deputy prosecutor Vladimir Davidovic said the Prosecution Office started work after reading about the acusations in the media.

He pointed out that until a month ago, he did not know of a case where a man marked "S" sexually harassed girls at a research station Petnica.
Asked how he did not know for four years why "S" was fired, he told TV Prva that "Petnica is a type of instantaneous water heater and many people come and go."

As they stated in the story for the weekly "Vreme", they were sexually abused by a person marked as "S", who, as they say, was presented as a person of authority.

According to the testimonies for the weekly Vreme, five girls experienced sexual violence from the same abuser in this institution in the period from 2003 to 2014, "Blic" reported.

Five women, former students at the Petnica Science Centre, near Valjevo, western Serbia, have claimed an employee subjected them to sexual harassment, the weekly magazine Vreme reported on Thursday.

She also assessed on Wednesday that this is the best example of cooperation between the Serbian government, civil society organizations and private companies.

At the opening of the Philanthropy Festival in Belgrade, Brnabic recalled that charity is in the tradition of the Serbian people and gave examples of Mihajlo Pupin, Ilija Milosavljevic Kolarac and Djordje Weifert.
