The Executive Board of the Employment Agency filed a new complaint against Folić

The Management Board of the Employment Service filed a new criminal complaint against the former director of that institution Goran Folić, "Vijesti" learns.

In the application to the Basic State Prosecutor's Office, it was stated that he terminated the contract with the First Bank on commission placement of loans, to which the costs for the placement and collection of those loans were paid in advance, and then he hired a lawyer at the additional expense of the Institute.

Back in 2008, the institute signed an agreement with Prva banka on commission placement of loans to stimulate employment and entrepreneurship. The bank had the obligation to monitor the collection of these loans, undertake collection and dispute management measures, and receives a fee of 1,5 percent of each loan that it collects in advance from the received funds.

According to the documents, Folić notified the termination of the contract on November 8, 2021, while it was only on January 17, 2022 that he informed the bank that all active loan cases would remain in operation at the bank even after the termination of the contract, while the cases that required to sue for deliveries to the Institute, which will in the future carry out forced collection.

The Institute now considers that they are thus paying the same obligation for forced collection for the second time, because they have already paid it to the bank once in advance. The head of the Institute's legal department informed the Management Board that she warned Folic not to unilaterally terminate the contract because it would harm the Institute, but that he did not listen to her.

Folić told "Vijesta" yesterday that he terminated the contract because Prva banka was late with the payment, but that he will explain everything when he gets acquainted with the application.

The Institute states that this termination caused them additional damage in the organization of the placement of new loans, as well as that there were no other banks that were interested in cooperation, which is why they had to talk again with Prva banka, which is now asking for more money to continue with work.

In January of this year, the Board of Directors filed a criminal complaint against Folić, due to suspicions that he unnecessarily hired a lawyer and increased the costs of the proceedings for a dispute with the Administration of Local Public Revenues of the Capital City, due to a mistake that could have been corrected by sending documentation.

Seven reasons for the dismissal of Folić?

Yesterday, the Management Board of the Institute concluded the repeated examination procedure and made a decision on the dismissal of Folić. As stated, they had seven reasons for dismissal, from failure to fulfill obligations from the annual work plan, failure to submit necessary reports, termination of contracts, failure to submit data on payment cards and official vehicles, failure to attend meetings...

For the same reasons, the management board dismissed Folic on October 12 last year, which he appealed to the commission, which accepted his appeal because he was not heard as a party in the examination procedure at that time.

Folić said yesterday that due to the fact that he tried to solve many problems and discover the wrongdoings of his predecessors, he resented many people in the Institute and that there are many of them in the new Board of Directors.
