Borko Drašković was dismissed from his position as head of Serbia’s Republic Geodetic Institute (RGZ) after serving 11 years. Drašković noted that “the day comes when you have to be replaced,” though he did not comment on whether his removal was linked to public disputes regarding land in Zlatibor or previous exchanges with former construction minister Goran Vesić.

Dalibor Babić, a long-time geodetic inspector within the agency, was appointed as acting director. Upon assuming the role, Babić stated his focus would be on improving communication and accessibility for citizens, particularly regarding property rights. He also indicated that the RGZ intends to continue modernizing land administration and maintaining cooperation with international partners, such as the World Bank.
