Die Europäische Bank für Wiederaufbau und Entwicklung beteiligt sich am Osteuropa-Geschäft der WAZ-Mediengruppe. EBRD-Präsident Thomas Mirow und WAZ-Gruppengeschäftsführer Bodo Hombach unterzeichneten die Vereinbarung am Freitag.
Die WAZ-Mediengruppe hat einen neuen Partner für ihr Geschäft in Osteuropa: Die Europäische Bank für Wiederaufbau und Entwicklung (EBRD), die internationale Finanzhilfeinstitution für die Länder des ehemaligen Ostblocks, beteiligt sich mit bis zu 40 Millionen Euro Gesamtinvestitionen an den Operationen der Ostholding der WAZ-Gruppe.
EBRD-Präsident Thomas Mirow und WAZ-Gruppengeschäftsführer Bodo Hombach unterzeichneten die Vereinbarung am Freitag im Londoner Sitz der Osteuropa-Bank.
„Wir haben dieselben Grundvorstellungen vom Wert der Demokratie und eines unabhängigen Journalismus”, erklärte Mirow. Es sei daher besonders wichtig, dass die WAZ-Gruppe auch in Zeiten der Krise ihr Engagement im Osten und Südosten des Kontinents aufrechterhalte und intensiviere.
“Am Aufbau von Demokratie mitarbeiten”

Hombach bekräftigte, die Basis der neuen Partnerschaft sei nicht nur geschäftlich. „Natürlich wollen wir mit Medien ein ordentliches Geschäft machen, aber Medien haben auch eine gesellschaftliche Verantwortung.” ……..
Kommentar:
“Am Aufbau von Demokratie mitarbeiten” nach Art des Hauses WAZ und in der Vorstellung von Bodo Hombach wohl.
Natürlich laufen im Balkan nun Gerichtliche Ermittlungen über diese Beteiligungen um die WAZ, weil doch die Partner prominente Top Verbrecher sind, direkt im Drogen- Zigaretten Schmuggel verwickelt und ebenso in die Ermordung diverser Leute, wie den Verleger Pukanovic in Zagreb durch eine Bombe, oder die Ermordung des Serbischen PM Djingic.
Da laufen überall Ermittlungen um Stanko Sobotic ebenso um das Drogen Schmuggler Syndikat von Darko Saric und Geldwäsche um den Partner M. Miskovic ohne Ende auch mit !
MUP to investigate Subotić claims
24 March 2010 | 17:38 | Source: Tanjug, Večernje novosti
BELGRADE — Interior Minister Ivica Dačić said that the ministry will investigate all of the claims of Stanko Subotić, aka Cane, that the police deems interesting.
Dačić said that there must be a clear line drawn on what falls into the jurisdiction of the ministry, and what relates to those who deal with privatization.
“Police will react according to the prosecution’s orders or if the ministry determines that an investigation can be led into some of the controversial businessman’s claims,” Dačić said regarding Subotić’s allegations that he loaned money to prominent Serbian businessmen for the purchase of the Belgrade Port company and daily Večernje Novosti.
Subotić, wanted in Serbia on cigarette smuggling charges, also said that he was acquainted with Darko Šarić, who is on the run and suspected of having attempted to smuggled 2.7 tons cocaine into Europe from South America.
Dačić said that some of the topics, such as the privatization of the port, were already active, but in regards to small shareholders.
“The privatization of Večernje Novosti has not been looked into, but if there is a need, the police will lead an investigation into it,” Dačić said………..

The pressures on Dichand to sell his part of Krone are said to
have increased when Bodo Hombach – the former head of the Stability Pact – became the head of WAZ. People claim that he is a close friend of the German chancellor Schroeder. In the interview for „Osterreichische Journalist“, the younger Dichand, Michael, accused Bodo Hombach that he was bribed with 1,3 million marks and that along with Ninoslav Pavic he arranged the sale of “Politika” to WAZ with the late Serbian prime minister, Djindjic. A year ago, some German media also discussed these speculations.

He also said that he was in contact with OLAF, the European Anti-Fraud Office*, and that he was one of the main witnesses in the process regarding tobacco smuggling. He said that documents exist in OLAF that can confirm that.

Delta owner accuses LDP leader of role in kidnapping
19 November 2007 | 20:45 | Source: B92, Beta
BELGRADE — Delta Holding CEO Miroslav Mikovi? has accused ?edomir Jovanovi? of taking part in his 2001 kidnapping.
Jovanovi?, now the leader of the Liberal-Democrats (LDP) and a vocal critic of Mikovi?, was then a Democratic Party (DS) official and a close aide to late Prime Minster Zoran ?in?i?.
This is the first time in six years that Serbia’s wealthiest man has spoken about his ordeal. Members of the criminal Zemun Clan gang, also involved in the ?in?i? assassination and a number of other serious crimes, have officially been accused of the abduction, but a previous verdict was overturned and the case has been sent for retrial.
Mikovi? addressed Jovanovi? in a letter sent to Beta news agency today, entitled, “If the time is right for the truth, here it is.”
“Do you use your attacks today to forestall all the testimonies about everything we know why your hands are dirty, while your conscience is clear or are your attacks another attempt to place me in a manhole, and for the second time demand ransom from me, my family and my company,” the letter said.
“Is it true what the front pages of the newspapers are saying, that you have taken five million [Deutsche] marks from Dejan Milenkovi? Bagzi as part of the blood money from my kidnapping. If you did take this money, who did you share it with and in what way,” Mikovi? asked Jovanovi? in his letter, addressing the LDP leader in the second person singular throughout.
Mikovi? was abducted on April 9, 2001, and was released the next day, after the equivalent of EUR 3mn some 7mn marks in ransom was paid.
Daily Kurir today published a story, based on statements of an unnamed MUP operative, that Milenkovi?, a Zemun Gang member turned protected witness in the ?in?i? murder trial, gave Jovanovi? five million marks immediately after the kidnapping, while the gang’s leaders, Milorad Ulemek, a.k.a. Legija, now serving 40 years in prison, and Duan Spasojevi?, killed in a showdown with police shortly after ?in?i?’s murder, took half a million each, with the rest divided among the organized crime group members.

Croatia Police Arrest Criminal Convicted for Serbian PM Murder

The area in Zagreb where Kalinic was found (FoNet)
Sretko Kalinic, one of the men found guilty in absentia for the murder of Serbian prime minister Zoran Djindjic in 2003, has been found by police on the outskirts of Zagreb suffering from gunshot wounds.
The head of the Serbian police, Milorad Veljovic, announced publicly that Milos Simovic, another member of the infamous Zemun clan who was also convicted in absentia for the murder of Djindjic, shot Kalinic with two bullets at 12:45pm in the Zagreb suburb of Rakita.
Veljovic also said that Kalinic was communicative, that the Croatian police were able to have a conversation with him, and that searches for Simovic are ongoing.
In an interview with Serbian national broadcaster RTS this morning, Veljovic said that he was in touch with his Croatian colleagues late into the night on Tuesday.
“They have searched some apartments where the members of the Zemun Clan could be hiding. I expect Milos Simovic to be arrested during the day,” RTS quoted him as saying.
Veljovic also expressed his hope that the extradition of Kalinic to Serbia will be solved quickly, claiming that it would be in the interest of both Serbia and Croatia.
Both Kalinic and Simovic are members of the Zemun clan, a criminal group, and both were tried in absentia by a Belgrade court and found guilty by a first instance verdict for the March 2003 murder of the first democratically elected Serbian prime minister. In May 2007 Kalinic was sentenced to 35 years in prison for the murder, but his sentence was commuted to 30 years in prison in November 2009.
Simovic was sentenced to 30 years’ imprisonment.
In addition to Simovic and Kalinic, the former commander of the Special Operations Unit, JSO, Milorad Ulemek, as well as the man found to have fired the gun that killed the prime minister, Zvezdan Jovanovic, were found guilty and are each serving sentences of 40 years in prison.
Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said last night that Kalinic is in custody in Zagreb. He also said that Kalinic, who holds Serbian and Croatian citizenship, was carrying a fake Croatian passport when he was apprehended.
……………………..
Other members of the criminal group being sought by police include Vladimir Milosavljevic, Milan Jurisic Jure, Ninoslav Konstantinovic and Selman Hamidovic.

2010/06/23 – Forming Opinions (I)
BELGRADE/ESSEN (Own report) – The German WAZ media company’s efforts
to expand to Serbia have been accompanied by dubious business deals.
The company, headquartered in the western German city of Essen, which
nearly nine years ago bought a 50% share in one of the two most
prominent Serbian dailies, has, for some time, been seeking to also
acquire shares in the other. The attempt, which had to be carried out
through an intermediary because of legal difficulties, is likely to
fail when the Serbian Cartel Office reaches its verdict. The WAZ’s
efforts to expand within the Serbian press market through political
and economic pressure have been so far just as unsuccessful. The
German company is now threatening to withdraw completely from Serbia -
with negative consequences for Serbia in its relationship to powerful
Germany. For its business deals in Belgrade, which were only possible
after the overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic, the WAZ had the former
Yugoslav Prime Minister, Zoran Djindjic, mediate contacts to dubious
business circles. One businessman, who today claims to have discussed
shady deals with WAZ manager Bodo Hombach (SPD), was described in the
German media, at the time of his contacts to the WAZ, as one “of the
kingpins of the Balkans mafia.”

Woher kam das Geld?: Serbische Super-Reiche im Visier der Ermittler
Milan Beko (früher Bekic), (war Minister für Privatisierung 1997)
vom 05.06.2010 | dpa
In Serbien Strafanzeige ist zum ersten Mal Strafanzeige gegen einen der Super-Reichen gestellt worden, die während der Kriegswirren mit zwielichtigen Methoden zu traumhaftem Vermögen gekommen sind. Das staatliche Amt für Korruptionsbekämpfung hat Anzeige gegen Milan Beko gestellt, weil er beim Kauf des Belgrader Hafens im Jahr 2005 den Staat und die Kleinaktionäre um Dutzende Millionen Euro betrogen haben soll. Das berichtete die Zeitung Politika am Samstag. Auch der frühere Wirtschaftsminister Predrag Bubalo stehe auf der Liste von 17 Personen, die bei der Staatsanwaltschaft angezeigt wurden, meldeten die Medien übereinstimmend.
Milan Beko : Belgrader Hafen zum Spottpreis gekauft
Hinweise auf Geldwäsche
Wir haben direkte Beweise für die Verbindung des Großkapitals, der Organisierten Kriminalität und der Politik in Serbien geliefert, sagte die Präsidentin der Antikorruptionsbehörde, Verica Barac. Wenn eine Firma ohne Geld, ohne Kapital, ohne Vermögensnachweis und ohne irgendeine Geschäftstätigkeit Aktien im Wert von 45 Millionen Euro kauft, dann ist das ein ernster Hinweis, dass es sich dabei vielleicht um Geldwäsche handelt, sagte Baric weiter. Beko soll über eine Luxemburger Scheinfirma den Hafen mit Hilfe der Behörden zum Spottpreis gekauft haben und damit an Bauland gekommen sein, das nach früheren Angaben 2,5 Milliarden Euro wert ist.
