A journalist from Trebinje Nataša Miljanović Zubac the mother country left her to fight alone against the mafia that threatens her life - the police ordered her to learn self-defense, and the prosecutor's office turns a blind eye to her pointing out the connections of the security sector with criminal groups operating in the territory of that country, but also the state of the region.
Miljanović Zubac has been on sick leave for 19 months, but those who try to silence her - are not resting. She was targeted more than once - her car was set on fire, she received threatening messages, she was intercepted while driving, a bloody doll was left in front of her house...
All cases were reported to the Trebinje Police Department, investigations were carried out and cases are being processed at the District Prosecutor's Office in that city.
Although it publishes information on its communication channels about the networks woven by drug clans with individuals from the Montenegrin and Republika Srpska police, the Prosecutor's Office in Trebinje replied to "Vijesta" that, according to the regulations, they have limited access to the Internet, that they do not have trained officers to monitor who publishes on social networks and that they are not familiar with the content that Miljanović Zubac publishes.
For months, based on material from the once-protected Sky application, as well as documents from the security services, she has been publishing allegations about police-mafia ties. She recently announced who was the one who ordered the burning of her car, but also which police officers contaminated the evidence during the investigation.
However, the competent prosecution "did not" see this, until they received the questions from "Vijesti". On the same day when they sent the answers to our newsroom, Miljanović Zubac was invited to testify. However, that has not happened yet.
The Trebinje Police Department instructed "Vijesti" to seek answers from the competent prosecutor's office. They also claim that even earlier they had disciplinary proceedings against the officers whom she identified as the persons who contaminated the evidence after her car was set on fire.
They do not explain why those two police officers, whose identity is known to "Vijesti", were fired from the MUP.
"In July 2022, the persons from your inquiry were issued a disciplinary measure of termination of employment in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Srpska due to misuse or exceeding the authority and damage to the reputation of the Ministry," the spokeswoman of the PU Trebinje replied to the News. Jovana Cvijetić.
Sky's only shield
Miljanović Zubac explains what she experienced, and how all the authorities turn a deaf ear to her requests, but she also makes serious accusations. He also points out that he protects his life and that of his family members by posting:
"All cases have been recorded by the Trebinje Police Department, investigations have been carried out, and the cases are in the Trebinje Police Department. During all that time, the competent institutions are silent. Six security assessment requests are pending. In order to protect myself and my family's life in a unique way, I started publishing certain content on my social networks 14 months ago. I have no other way. These are certain segments of Sky correspondence and material from the security services. I am targeting people from security institutions, especially the director of the police of Republika Srpska Siniša Kostrešević", replied Miljanović Zubac to "Vijesta".
The Trebinje Prosecutor's Office, in response to Vijesta's questions about whether they launched an investigation based on the publications of Miljanović Zubac, which unequivocally links the director of the Police of the Republic of Srpska, Siniša Kostrešević, with drug cartels, said that it was not their responsibility, but the responsibility of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Serbia. Republika Srpska.
In connection with the part of your letter that refers to knowledge of alleged criminal acts committed by the director of the Police of the Republic of Srpska, Siniša Kostrešević, we inform you that the said acts are not within the jurisdiction of this Prosecutor's Office, but are within the jurisdiction of the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Republic of Srpska - Special Department for suppression of corruption, organized and the most serious forms of economic crime
Burning cars and destroying clues
The journalist of the Radio Television of the Republika Srpska (RTRS) told "Vijesti" that in January of last year she received a letter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the RS in which she was invited to self-protection, which was signed by the spokeswoman of that department. Mirna Miljenović.
She explains that after that she regularly visited the PU Trebinje and presented her findings.
"I am there in numerous conversations with the head of PU Sinisha Laket and head of the Police Sector Miodrag Janković presented some of my findings. Among other things, to police director Sinisa Kostrešević. On March 28, 2024, I presented my knowledge about the customer, as well as the organizer of the ignition of my car. I also presented information about the inspectors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Srpska who contaminated the evidence in cases of burning cars. Laketa and Janković did not deny anything I said, and they heard a lot. On the contrary, Laketa said that they were, I quote, 'dealing with' those names. They are still 'immune' to some names, because it is a bigger league after all", she said.

The Prosecution, however, claims that it does not have the information that she shared with those two officials of the Trebinje police.
Chief District Public Prosecutor in Trebinje Žarko Milić replied to "Vijesti" that on July 28, 2022, a case was opened against an unknown perpetrator due to the burning of the journalist's car and that the investigation is still being conducted.
"Nataša Miljanović Zubac stated in a statement given to the police authorities on June 15, 6, that she had no threats, and that she was not aware of the motives for committing the aforementioned criminal act, and also that she had no doubts about the possible perpetrator of the criminal act. She also stated that in the event of new information regarding the commission of this criminal act, she will inform the competent authorities about it, which has not been the case so far," Milić replied to Vijest on April 2022.
They called her not to come
Commenting on the answers that "Vijesti" received from the PU Trebinje and the Prosecutor's Office there, she said that the Prosecutor's Office never responded to her letter from November 2022.
"They replied to you that they don't follow my posts on social networks, and on the same day that you received a reply from them, the prosecutor called me Dino Redzovic. He said that I should be heard as a witness, and in connection with the posts I broadcast on social networks. Interesting indeed. So, after you responded with questions - I get a call. Even more interesting is that we have agreed to meet on Friday, April 19 to specify the date of that hearing. Prosecutor Redžović was not at work, and the secretary said that she could not contact him until Monday. Of course, I am ready to go to the hearing, but I am not sure if the authorities are ready for what I will tell them. Prosecutor's offices are in most cases very inert, they have certain things, but they do not react. And in addition to the statement, I have several questions to ask the prosecutor, and one of them is why they never responded to one of my registered letters. As well as some questions to which we never got an answer, who translated whom and when across the state border... what was the prosecutor's office dealing with, but we never heard the epilogue of the investigation. Of course, the statement will be in accordance with my security situation and my level of trust in the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina. I will repeat what I have been repeating for a long time, I do not trust the security institutions of Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina. They are headed by mostly contaminated personnel who are part of the milieu that threatens me, attacks me, endangers my life," she said.
They remain silent even when he asks for protection
Miljanović Zubac explains that in the 14 months that he has been publishing material from Skaj, no security institution in Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina has contacted him.
"And I turned to everyone, asking for protection. They mostly declare themselves incompetent, they send me back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the RS whose top is silent, and I have already said who is the head of the Police of Srpska".
They do not see the posts, nor are they enabled to see them
Answering the questions about whether they conducted an investigation in the direction of the persons whom Miljanović Zubac marked as the orderer and organizer of that criminal work, as well as in the direction of the two inspectors who, as she claims, contaminated the evidentiary material, Milić said that the prosecution did not even see it.
"On the basis of the Rulebook on Internet access for users of the judicial information system, for reasons of information system security, the Prosecutor's Office has limited access to the Internet, i.e. to social or social networks, and other contents that are broadcast on the Internet, and it also does not have trained officers for this type of activity, for which reason he is unable to monitor the posts that natural persons place on social networks. "The prosecution is not familiar with the content published by Nataša Miljanović Zubac on her social networks," he said.
He explained that the police officers under the supervision of the prosecutor's office carried out several measures and activities with the aim of discovering and identifying persons who destroyed other people's cars in the area of Trebinje for a long period of time, that among them was Aleksandar Lučić, but that "identified persons were based on the collected the evidence could not be linked to the committed criminal offense against Zubac".
