Competent authorities will launch an investigation in case “serious allegations against them” exist, said President Aleksandar Vucic following a public designation from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s targeting 11 Kosovo Serbs, including Milan Radoicic and Zvonko Veselinovic.
Vucic said during a press conference that he has received an informal report from the US Embassy over the decision.
“Initially they accused them of illegal trade. In the end, they will accuse them of not respecting the border between Kosovo and Serbia, but this is nothing new. If serious allegations exist, competent authorities will then launch an investigation”, said the Serbian president.
Vucic denied that his Serbian Progressive Party ever received any money from Zvonko Veselinovic.
“He has not given us a single dime, at least to me, I don’t know about others. The party that I lead has more than enough funds thanks to state means and through its membership. These are our main resources”, he concluded.
The U.S. Department of Treasury blacklisted the deputy leader of the Serbian List, the main party of ethnic Serbs in Kosovo, Milan Radoicic, as well as businessman Zvonko Veselinovic, his brother Zarko, and 10 other people connected to them.
