Serbia's Anti-Corruption Council keeps silent about the business deals between the state Telekom Srbija and private Wireless Media company owned by businessman Igor Zezelj, although its member Jelisaveta Vasilic told N1 she had sent her report on the issue to other Council's members.
The report also went to the Council's its vice-president Miroslav Milicevic, but he hadn't yet called a session to discuss the contract according to which the state company paid 38 million Euros to Wireless Media.
The Council did not comment on Vasilic's warning despite Milicevic's promise to N1 it would deal with it in August.
He did not even refer to the contract which Marinika Tepic, an opposition leader, made public.
She even tried to hand it over to Zagorka Dolovac, Serbia's Public Prosecutor, but she refused to take them.
According to the contract that Tepic had shown, Telekom paid Zezelj's company 37,900,000 Euros, and in return acquired the rights to contents and projects that were not listed in the contract.
Tepic said that proved corruption.
"I assure you that Igor Zezelj used our money to buy the tabloid Kurir and the entire Adria Media group, get into business with Kurir television and so on. I asked The Council, to, under its competencies, send the same contract to the Government and the Prosecutor's Office," she added.
Former Council's associate Zoran Gavrilovic said the Council was blocked because it was the last disobedient institution that had been warning about corrupt deals.
"The Council survived as an institution, but the Prime Minister (Ana) Brnabic put in two of her candidates, and now it doesn't have consensus which used to be its usual way of making decisions. That practically blocked the Council," Gavrilovic said.
N1 TV asked the Prosecutor's Office whether an investigation had been launched into the contact between Telekom and Wireless Media, but there was no response.
