In the beginning, it is important to emphasize that the model that developed in northern Kosovo was not a classic criminal structure, nor classic state policy, but a hybrid political-security-economic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the period after the Brussels Agreement (2013), northern Kosovo became a space where Belgrade's political control, the formal institutional jurisdiction of the Kosovo Government, and the local control of criminal groups overlapped, with Milan Radoji\u010di\u0107 and Zvonko Veselinovi\u0107 being the leading figures. US sanctions (2021) specifically target their group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How did the model function?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first phase, Radoi\u010di\u0107 became the vice-president of Srpska Lista, which enabled political representation for Serbs in Kosovo and an institutional channel to the Kosovo Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This newly created political structure formally participates in the Kosovo system, but remains under Belgrade's patronage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Radoji\u010di\u0107eva grupa je odr\u017eavala potpunu kontrolu nad ekonomskim aktivnostima u severnim\u00a0 op\u0161tinama,kao i nad op\u0161tinskim politi\u010dkim strukturama i obezbe\u0111ivala neometano poslovanje svojih firmi. Klju\u010d sistema bio je gra\u0111evinski sektor. Firme povezane sa mre\u017eom dobijale su sve tendere. Projekti su uklju\u010divali: puteve, kanalizaciju, stambene objekte,\u0161kole i vrti\u0107e, odr\u017eavanje puteva i ostalu javnu infrastrukturu. Rekorder u tom smislu su dve firme, \u201cRad\u201dd.o.o.\u201d Rad\u201d P.T.P.\u00a0 iz Zve\u010dana i njihov vlasnik Radule Stevi\u0107, koji je samo u periodu 2018-2021, dobio ukupno 61 tender u vrednosti od 5,6 miliona evra, za izvo\u0111enje radova u sve \u010detiri op\u0161tine severa Kosova. Radi se o projektima finansiranim iz bud\u017eeta Vlade Kosova.\u00a0 Stevi\u0107a je ameri\u010dko Ministarstvo finansija stavilo na listu sankcija.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has sanctioned Milan Radoji\u010di\u0107, Zvonko Veselinovi\u0107 and his brother \u017darko, along with about a dozen other individuals connected to them. In addition to these individuals, about twenty companies linked to them, headquartered in Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, and Bulgaria, were also placed on the sanctions list. Among them are the construction company \u201cInkop\u201d from \u0106uprija, \u201cBetonjerka\u201d from Aleksinac, \u201cNovi Pazar put\u201c, and others, where the dominant role of the construction sector in the division of the financial pie is clearly visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The U.S. Department of the Treasury described this model:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
„Firme pru\u017eaju finansijsku podr\u0161ku politi\u010dkim akterima iz SNS-a i pomo\u0107 u izbornoj kampanji i u Srbiji i na Kosovu i zauzvrat dobijaju infrastrukturne projekte koji omogu\u0107avaju pranje novca i legalni prihod. To je sistem patrona\u017enih radova.“<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why are infrastructure projects most important to Vu\u010di\u0107?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Veliki javni radovi omogu\u0107avaju stabilan prihod. Tako\u0111e, predstavljaju teritorijalnu kontrolu (ko gradi, kontroli\u0161e prostor) i na kraju omogu\u0107avaju vidljiv legitimitet (gra\u0111ani vide konkretne radove). Sankcije su uvedene jer je procenjeno da mre\u017ea koristi korupciju i bavi se zastra\u0161ivanjem ucenjenih, uti\u010de na politi\u010dke procese i povezuje kriminal i politiku i time u kona\u010dnici destabilizuje region. Vlada Kosova je, odgovaraju\u0107i na dru\u0161tvene kritike, objasnila za\u0161to je davala \u201cpravni okvir\u201d i bila primorana da finansira projekte na severu, povezane sa strukturama koje je sama smatrala problemati\u010dnim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do ameri\u010dkih sankcija 2021, firme povezane sa Milanom Radoji\u010di\u0107em i Zvonkom Veselinovi\u0107em nisu bile na me\u0111unarodnimcrnim listama, protiv mnogih nije postojala pravosna\u017ena presuda na Kosovu, kompanije koje su ispunjavale tenderske uslove bile su formalno registrovane. Za Vladu Kosova to je zna\u010dilo da bi odbijanje bez pravnog osnova bilo oboreno na sudu. Situacija je bila, de iure vlast Pri\u0161tine, de facto lokalna kontrola, pod za\u0161titom Beograda. Kosovske vlasti nisu imale kapacitet da sprovedu odluke bez saglasnosti lokalnih aktera, a samim tim ni mogu\u0107nost da garantuju bezbednost izvo\u0111a\u010dima koji nisu deo lokalne mre\u017ee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the Brussels Agreement, the strategy of Kosovo's governments was to integrate the north through institutions and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Few companies were willing to operate in the security-risk zone, whether they were Kosovo or international companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U periodu 2013-2021, dakle, do uvo\u0111enja sankcija akterima, me\u0111unarodnoj zajednici je prioritet bila stabilnost, implementacija Briselskog sporazuma i institucionalno uklju\u010divanje Srba. To je indirektno podsticalo pristup \u201csaradnja pre konfrontacije\u201d, \u0161to je kriminalna mre\u017ea , pod za\u0161titom Vu\u010di\u0107evog re\u017eima, obilato koristila. Posle ameri\u010dkih sankcija, hibrid politi\u010dko-ekonomske kontrole iz Beograda je u dobroj meri razbijen, ali nike potpuno nestao, ve\u0107 se transformisao u nestabilniji i konfliktniji model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
