According to the daily Informer, over the past five years, the company Multikom of Dragan Djilas has lent up to 201,540,000 dinars, or nearly two million euros, to finance important figures in power.

Informer reports that the leader of the Freedom and Justice Party (SSP), magnate Dragan Djilas, allegedly bribed and controlled a large number of media, journalists, experts, analysts and politicians with his fortune, acquired suspiciously.

“Thanks to a detailed analysis of the financial reports available at the Commercial Register Agency (APR), we determined that the Multikom company, in which Djilas holds 97% of the shares, has” loaned “up to 201,540,000 dinars. over the past five years. years, or nearly two million euros. We put the word “loaned” in quotes because these are fake, fake loans. First of all because they are hardly ever (except in one case) paid, and because it is obvious that through them, Djilas controls the politico-media space of the country, that is to say literally buys votes with the millions acquired in a suspicious manner and his mercenaries in command, who must always and everywhere write the best about him and his policy, ”reveals the Informer.

Topping the list of people who received the tycoon’s “loans” is Aleksandar Saša Bijelić, Dragan Đilas’ former driver and town politician when the SSP chief was Serbian government minister and mayor. from Belgrade. In 2019, Multikom loaned 35,800,000 dinars to Bijelić’s company, Ultra Drive Rentacar, or more than 300,000 euros. There is no record in the financial reports that even a single dinar of this loan has been repaid to date, so it can be reasonably assumed that Djilas bought Bijelić’s backing with this money.

It is quite interesting to see a “freelance” journalist Nenad Čaluković among the people who owe Djilas money. The former editor-in-chief of Nedeljnik, who now publishes the political monthly Karakter, received a 1.6 million dinar loan from Multikom in 2020 and to date, according to available data, has not repaid a single dinar .

Besides the so-called independent journalists, Djilas’ debtors are also “experts” who are quoted almost daily in the media as and who always attack President Aleksandar Vučić in the most appalling manner. Among them is economist Zvonimir Zvonko Nikezić, co-owner of CES Mekon, who was arrested in 2012 for involvement in the shady cases surrounding Azotara (nitrogen plant) in Pančevo. Nikezić’s company allegedly received 16,462,000 dinars from Multikom, or more than 150,000 euros, and this “loan”, according to available data, was never repaid.

The secretary general of the SSP party, Ljuban Panić, received 12,938,000 Djilas dinars in 2018, or more than 100,000 euros. Again, there is no indication that a single dinar of this loan has been repaid. Party vice-chairman Dejan Bulatović, known for his outspoken media appearance in favor of Serbian farmers, also received millions from Multikom; i.e. 5.7 million dinars or 50,000 euros were donated to Bulatović’s farm in 2019.

Djilas’ list of debtors also includes public relations and marketing experts who often have appearances on TV stations such as N1 and Nova and other media. Among them, Zoran Papović, the boss of the Pramac Advertising agency, which received 33,691,000 dinars from Multikom in 2018, or nearly 320,000 euros, without reimbursing anything.

Darko Mihajlović, a good friend of Marinika Tepić and owner of the PR-PART agency in Bor, is also said to have “borrowed” 3,300,000 dinars in 2018. He is often cited in the media as “an objective and independent expert”.

According to information obtained by Infromer, Djilas also controls KTV in Zrenjanin, whose founder, the Linea Electronics Company, allegedly borrowed 3,600,000 dinars from Djilas in 2018. According to the same principle, Djilas also owns Kraljevačka TV, which received 2,500,000 dinars from Multikom in 2018, but also Media Center in Belgrade, which “borrowed” six million dinars in 2017. To date, according to available data, none of them has repaid a single dinar.

Finally, the Informant emphasizes that during the period when Djilas’ company “lent” nearly two million euros, it did not have much income, and even recorded losses for several years.
