Investigations into provincial administration in Novi Sad

Overview

Authorities in Novi Sad have initiated investigations into the operations of provincial institutions. On November 5, police and forensic teams raided the Provincial Pension and Disability Insurance Fund (PIO). The raid followed allegations that the facility was used as a political call center for the SNS party and that employees were allegedly required to perform political work. This action also followed labor union demands for the dismissal of director Milan Šućak, who was accused of political activism and discriminatory treatment of staff.

On November 9, investigations expanded to the Assembly of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina regarding the potential destruction of official documentation. This inquiry was prompted by reports and footage showing bags being disposed of in containers near provincial institutions. While initial media reports suggested cleaning staff were arrested, the Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad clarified that 22 workers were questioned as citizens to assist in the investigation. The Administration for Common Affairs of Provincial Bodies also reported that these workers had experienced harassment and unauthorized filming while performing their duties.
