Ilija Dević

I signed the contract with the City of Novi Sad for the construction of the new intercity bus station based on the General Urban Plan. I completed the investment, but the City of Novi Sad did not fulfill its contractual obligation.

Evidence: Contract with the City of Novi Sad, construction and occupancy permits.

Court decisions are expected:

In the lawsuit I have filed, I expect the court's decisions to be in line with the existing case law in this matter. Namely, the Supreme Court of Cassation has already ruled once that the City caused damage to ATP "Vojvodina" for one contractual period, resulting in four million euros being paid from the budget of Novi Sad.

The lawsuit awaiting a decision pertains to the remaining contractual period until 2021.

CONSTITUTIONAL APPEAL OF ILIJA DEVIĆ REGARDING THE ATP VOJVODINA INVESTMENT”

ATTACHMENT No.1 , ATTACHMENT No.2 , ATTACHMENT No.3 , ATTACHMENT No.4

I accumulated my capital over more than forty years in the former Yugoslavia. In that large country, where the rules of the game were known, I was among the top five entrepreneurs in small businesses. Later, I had small, medium, and then large enterprises. I did not bring my money from tax havens, nor did I acquire it through privileges or political connections. I have never been equated, even colloquially, with tycoons or war profiteers. Despite this, I have experienced the state, whose budget I have contributed to for decades, where I employed over six hundred people, and where I developed a business plan for an additional twelve hundred jobs, taking away my capital.

The ATP "Vojvodina" case is among the 24 disputed privatizations, being the only one where the investor, not the state of Serbia, is the injured party. The case is under the monitoring of the European Commission.

10 June 2021 The Bankruptcy Trustee Nikola Pavlović beforehand has the reports of BTLA (Bankruptcy Trustee Licensing Agency)

I have learned from the bankruptcy case of ATP Vojvodina at the Commercial Court in Novi Sad that the bankruptcy trustee Nikola Pavlović informed the Court on 4 June 2021 that he sent a denial to the daily newspaper Danas on 25 May 2021, and that was where my statement had been published. He referred to the conclusion issued by the extraordinary control organized last year by Bankruptcy Trustee Licensing Agency (BTLA) which claimed that there were not illegal issues in that bakruptcy procedure and that my complaint on numerous irregularities was unfounded. I lodged a remonstrance to that very decision on 30 December 2020.

However, the text to which he sent the denial has nothing to do with the abovementioned irregularities because of which I complained to BTLA in that time. It relates to the problem of the illegal sale in which the judge Vladislav Kurtek and bankruptcy trustee Nikola Pavlović confused the laws.

Namely, the judge declared sale of the property and gave the order to the Cadastre to register it. That would have been right if the procedure had been conducted in accordance with the Bankruptcy Law. However, the case is being conducted in accordance with the Law on Bankruptcy Procedure which says that the sale activities are done through notary. The problem appeared because not even one notary office wanted to certify the sale because the facilities were under mortgage in dispute.

The bankruptcy case also obviously contains the report issued on 20 May by the regular control and that report was received by the bankruptcy trustee on 3 June 2021- a day after his denial was published in Danas and that was the denial in which he claimed that BTLA confirmed that everything was all right. This indicates that he had known about the contents of the document before he received it from BTLA.

That is why we sent the following questions to the Bankruptcy Trustee Licence Agency:

- When estimating the work of the bankruptcy trustee, did the supervisor Dragana Kujundžić checked the rules of sale he had applied and, particularly did she know that the objections to the sale had been filed by The Commercial Bank, The State Attorney n behalf of the Tax Administration and me? We also do not know if she took in consideratin the fact that I had filed complaint to the bankruptcy judge's decision made in accordance with the bankruptcy trustee's suggestion?

- Did such a declaration made by the supervisor Dragana Kujundžić prejudge the outcome of the complaint procedure relating the question if the bankruptcy trustee retroactively applied the Bankruptcy Law on this sale instead of the Law on Bankruptcy Procedure?

- Finally, is there a pressure put on the work of the Commercial Court of Appeal in order to make it reject my complaint, because the supervisor found out that the bankruptcy trustee was acting in accordance with the law despite the fact that she did not have the insight into documentation?

Sincerely Yours,

Ilija Dević, Investor of ATP Vojvodina Company in Novi Sad
