The Council of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK) today rejected the requests of Jelena Perović and her lawyer Nikola Martinović for another year of official compensation for the former director of ASK, Vijesti has learned.
According to the same information, the Council is of the opinion that additional information should be requested and additional documentation should be collected regarding Perović's request for payment of compensation for unused annual leave for 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Vijesti reported today that former ASK director Jelena Perović has asked the institution's Council for another year of official compensation, claiming that she is entitled to it because "her position has now legally ceased - with the expiration of her mandate."
Perović has been receiving an official's compensation since last September, in the amount of 2.147 to 2.293 euros, because she requested it after the Council dismissed her in August 2024.
She also received the compensation during May, June and July, when she claimed that, by decision of the Administrative Court, she was once again the director of the Agency.
ASK officially announced in a statement stating that the ASK Council, at today's session, rejected as unfounded the request of the proxy of Jelena Perović for compensation of the salary she received in the last month before the termination of her position, with appropriate adjustments, from July 29, 2025, bearing in mind that she had already exercised this right in the period from August 16, 2024 to August 15, 2025, having been appointed based on the Decision of the Agency Council.
"Also, the Council rejected Jelena Perović's request for compensation for the salary she received in the last month before the termination of her position, with appropriate adjustments, from 07.08.2025, because the same administrative matter has already been decided upon the request of her attorney. The discussion on Jelena Perović's request for payment of compensation for unused annual leave for 2023, 2024 and 2025 has been postponed to the next session, due to the need for additional consideration of the documentation necessary for deciding on the said case," reads a statement published on the ASK website.
