Podgorica - Police officers from the Economic Crime Department entered the Institute for Textbooks and Teaching Aids to check the operations of that state institution in the last three years, while Marko Jokić was at the head of the Institute's Board of Directors, "Vijesti" learns.
The new president of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Textbooks and Teaching Aids, Srđan Raičević, who is also the secretary of the Ministry of Education, said that yesterday morning the economic crime inspectors were at the institute.
"They took over the documentation and are doing their job," he told "Vijesta" yesterday.
Raičević was appointed president of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Textbooks and Teaching Aids at the beginning of this month, and Predrag Vujičić, Mihailo Andušić, Nađa Durković and Aleksandra Hajduković were elected members of the Board of Directors.
The previous convocation of the Board of Directors headed by Jokić was changed at the request of the Minister of Education, Slavoljub Stijepović, after the State Audit Institution found a number of violations of the law when it comes to the disposal of money and the loss of almost 700.000 euros.
The President of the Board of Directors from 2010 until a few weeks ago was Jokić, and the members were Ljubiša Stanković, Vesna Vučurović, Nađa Durković and Aleksandra Hajduković.
In July, the State Audit Institution published a report stating that last year the Institute used money in a non-domestic way, that the financial report is full of material errors, that the presented activities and information and transactions were not in all materially significant aspects in accordance with the applicable regulations, and that The institution was not managed with due care.
The report states that last year the Institute for Textbooks and Teaching Aids, whose director is Nebojša Dragović, operated with a loss of EUR 669,8 thousand, thanks to the write-off of outdated textbooks in the amount of EUR 465.000 and EUR 127.000 more than projected salary expenses. Last year, the expenditures of the Institute for Education amounted to four million euros.
In 2009, the Network for the Affirmation of the Non-Governmental Sector (MANS) submitted an initiative to initiate proceedings before the Commission for the Determination of Conflict of Interest against Marko Jokić, then Assistant Minister of Education and Science, for membership in the bodies of a business company and for not declaring assets.
Jokić reported to the Commission for the year 2009 that, in addition to the public office he holds as assistant minister, he is also the president of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Publishing Textbooks and Teaching Aids (ZUNS) for a four-year term, as well as the president of the Supervisory board in KIC "Budo Tomović".
A tireless DPS activist in charge of controlling school principals and teachers
In 2010, the government appointed Marko Jokić, one of the important DPS activists who, according to "Vijesti" information, was in charge of coordinating school principals from DPS with the aim of getting as many teachers and their family members as possible to vote for DPS. the first professional president of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Textbooks.
That was the proposal of the Ministry of Education, and at that time the former Assistant Minister of Education had been without a job since the fall of 2009, when he resigned due to a strike by students in the Cetinje high school.
The students returned to the classrooms after the Ministry, despite Jokić's stubborn attempts to discipline them, agreed to let Miomir Đurišić remain the director of the gymnasium. Since Đurišić was not with the DPS, Jokić tried to discredit him in various ways, but he did not succeed.
He then resigned, and two days later the secretary of the Ministry, Žana Šćepanović, did the same. The former Minister of Education Sreten Škuletić did the same on December 30, 2009. After that, he lost ties with the executive power, but that's why Jokić became the main man of the Institute for Textbooks.
