Organized Crime Prosecutor opens case on complaint against Marko Đurić, Dragan Šutanovac and 10 ambassadors
Published · Updated
What happened
The Public Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime opened a case on October 27 following a criminal complaint alleging offenses related to electoral rights against Foreign Minister Marko Đurić, Dragan Šutanovac, and 10 Serbian ambassadors.
Why it matters
A prosecutorial file now exists around allegations connected to electoral rights and senior state-linked figures. That gives opposition and government actors a formal institutional channel beyond media and party claims, and it can generate new procedural steps, filings, or public demands in the next 24-72 hours.
On October 27, Serbia's Public Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime opened a case after receiving a criminal complaint against Foreign Minister Marko Đurić, Dragan Šutanovac, and 10 Serbian ambassadors over alleged offenses tied to electoral rights. The step does not determine guilt, but it moves an election-related dispute into the prosecutorial system. For the next several days, the key question is whether prosecutors take visible procedural steps or leave the filing at the intake stage, which will shape how long post-election legitimacy disputes remain institutionally active.
