Several rooms that were damaged in the fire on the top floor of the Special Court building in Ustanička Street are used by the Public Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (JTOK), and Nova.rs published a photo showing what remains of the office of one of the prosecutors working on the financial investigation in the “Nadstrešnica” case. The employees managed to remove this and other items in time.
It is not yet known how the fire started, reports the Nova.rs portal, and the investigation has been taken over by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade.
Flames and smoke first appeared on the ceiling of the office on the top floor, and thanks to the quick reaction of both prosecutors and other employees and court guards who immediately came to the rescue, the objects that were in the endangered offices were promptly removed and saved.
As we learn, in addition to the “Nadtrešnica” case, among the rescued and brought forward cases is the investigation into the case of Milorad Grčić, former acting director of EPS.

The photo published by ” Nova ” shows the office of one of the prosecutors working on the ” Nadstrešnica ” case, in which almost everything was destroyed, both by the fire and by the firefighters’ intervention that followed. Part of the case file in the “Nadstrešnica” case that was in this office was promptly taken out and saved, while the rest was in the offices of other prosecutors who were not directly threatened by the fire.
Speculation first emerged in the public that the burned offices included, among others, the ” General Staff ” case, but as “Nova” has learned, the prosecutor who holds these files also does not have an office on the top floor where the fire broke out.
The regime’s showdown with the JTOK, which has been intensifying in recent days due to changes to the Law on Public Prosecution and proposed amendments, has not bypassed the fact that a fire occurred, so the regime media has been bidding for days on which objects were destroyed in the fire.
Thus, the regime portal “Vaseljenska” today reported a statement by a member of parliament proposing amendments to Uglješa Mrdić’s prosecutorial laws, calling on the police to question the chief prosecutor for organized crime, Mladen Nenadić, claiming that the case file in the investigation into the murder of Belgrade lawyer Dragoslav Miša Ognjanović was destroyed in the fire.
As Nova.rs has learned, this information is absolutely incorrect, because the case in the “Ognjanović” case is also being handled by a prosecutor whose office is not on the top floor of the building where the fire broke out.

Interestingly, the aforementioned regime portal is registered at the same address as the law office of Dragoslav Ljubičanović, one of the closest associates of the Belgrade VJP Chief Prosecutor Nenad Stefanović, who was recently a designated regime candidate in the last elections in the Belgrade Bar Association. The individual who presents herself as the editor-in-chief of this obscure portal harassed prosecutors who were at a professional seminar on Kopaonik a few months ago, which eventually led to the police intervention.
In media reporting, he stands out most for defending the character and actions of Nenad Stefanović, who to this day has not responded to the question of ” Nova “, on the basis of which he established the jurisdiction of the VJP and took over the investigation of the fire in the Special Court building, since it should be dealt with by the Second Basic Prosecutor’s Office.
