The mayor of Banja Luka, Drasko Stanivukovic, filed a criminal complaint against the dismissed director of the University Clinical Center of Republika Srpska (RS) and former president of the SNSD City Board, Vlado Djajic. Stanivukovic claims that Djajic planned to plant narcotics on him. And the director of Elektroprivreda Luka Petrovic also filed a criminal complaint against S. D. from Banja Luka to the Trebinje District Public Prosecutor’s Office, because, as he stated, he attempted to bribe him with 500 thousand BAM.
The Cocaine Affair, in which the main figure is Vlado Djajic, is not subsiding. The mayor of Banja Luka, Drasko Stanivukovic, filed a criminal complaint against Djajic for four criminal offenses. He accused him of planning to plant drugs on him from the disputed recording. Stanivukovic threatened new recordings against Djajic.
“If they are not brought in, questioned, arrested, I will make a projector and I will play two or three more recordings so we can see who is talking to whom,” said Drasko Stanivukovic, the mayor of Banja Luka.
Djajic claims that it is a classic setup. He says he has known about the recording for 10 months and reported it to the police. He is ready to take a polygraph test and denies that he used or distributed cocaine.
“It was a montage by a criminal who is now in prison and extorted. After he threw the bag in front of me, you can see that I ran away,” said Vlado Djajic, the dismissed director of the University Clinical Center RS.
Various theories are present in public discourse about who framed whom and why, in the last days of the election campaign.
“Vlado Djajic, because of being removed from the SNSD and the attacks he was exposed to by Srdjan Amidzic and Igor Dodik, was supposed to form his own political organization, and that is a major blow because he is a doctor who has a large network, and it would destroy the SNSD in Banja Luka and Krajina,” adds Nebojsa Vukanovic, president of the List for Justice and Order.
“The fact that in society we are talking about who planted drugs on whom, tens of thousands of BAM, here there are no winners and society has lost,” says Jelena Trivic, president of the National Front.
What benefits the current government is that we are not a society of aware and politically mature citizens, according to analyst Tanja Topic. An example of this, she says, is also last night’s ovations for Djajic at a party gathering.
“The key question is why now and who pulled this scandal out of dusty drawers to frame someone. Whether for the purpose of showing maturity and responsibility of political decision-makers, or it is an internal showdown between individuals within the SNSD,” explains Tanja Topic, political analyst.
The citizens of Banja Luka are not surprised that Djajic is associated with narcotics. The essential question of who and with what motives released the compromising recording three days before the elections, if both Vlado Djajic and Drasko Stanivukovic have known about it for months, should be answered by the District Public Prosecutor’s Office, which has opened a case.
