The deputies of the Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) Danijel Živković, Nikola Janović and the deputy of the Social Democrats (SD) Nikola Zirojević submitted to the Parliamentary Committee for Security and Defense a request for a control hearing of the Deputy Prime Minister Aleksa Bečić, the Supreme State Prosecutor Milorad Marković and the Chief Special Prosecutor Vladimir Novović on the occasion of " political pressure of the Government representatives on the work of the judicial authorities, which encourages doubts about the selective approach of the prosecution in selecting priority cases for prosecution".
The explanation states that Bečić, who is also the coordinator of the Bureau for Operational Coordination, welcomed the arrest of Jelena Perović, director of the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption (ASK), which, they said, was not confirmed by the competent institutions.
"...By which he exerted inappropriate political pressure on the judicial authorities, we suggest that the Deputy Prime Minister and BOK coordinator Bečić, Supreme State Prosecutor Marković and Special State Prosecutor Novović be heard before the Security and Defense Committee. The practice of government representatives targeting people who should be deprived of their freedom and this is suggested to the competent authorities, which is not in accordance with the legal and ethical standards of a democratic society and the rule of law and encourages suspicion that the judicial authorities are working under the pressure of media and political influences," the explanation states.
They add that anyone who has violated the law should be held accountable, but that the behavior of certain political and social actors should not be ignored.
