A major political incident has unfolded in Belgrade, with film director and professor Stevan Filipović reporting a physical assault by individuals he claims are linked to the ruling party. This incident has drawn significant attention, with multiple news outlets covering the details of the attack and the allegations made by Filipović.
Adding to the political turbulence, an internal conflict within the Ministry of Internal Affairs has come to light. Former Belgrade police chief Veselin Milić has accused Marko Kričak, the current head of the Criminal Police Directorate, of framing him, with criminal charges reportedly filed. This development reveals deep rifts within the country's security apparatus.
On the economic front, an investigative report claims that the state treasury is facing a one-billion-euro deficit, directly contradicting official statements of a surplus. This news emerges alongside discussions about new risks for inflation and potential price hikes. Meanwhile, wildfires continue to pose a threat in Deliblato Sands and near Kraljevo, while the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians announced it will contest elections independently.
