Simic: I told the truth - that I didn't do anything illegal, this is pressure before the elections

Member of the Presidency of the Serb List, Igor Simic, stated that during his questioning by the police, he declared that he had not done anything illegal or acted against anyone. He also noted that the summons for questioning, issued to Serbs following the police raid on Serbian institutions in the north, is a form of pressure ahead of the elections in Kosovo.

"We said we would respond to the summons, and we all did. We have no reason not to, as we are absolutely certain that we have done nothing against anyone. I am proud to be part of the Pension and Disability Insurance Fund (PIO Fund) and to have helped citizens secure their right to a pension. In that sense, I believe I did a good deed, not anything illegal or against anyone," Simic told reporters.

He emphasized that this is the only truth he stated today during the questioning, as he is always ready to repeat it.

"I am convinced that this is directly linked to our political positions within the Serb List and is a form of pressure, especially considering the fact that we are approaching the regular parliamentary elections in Kosovo," Simic stressed.

When asked by reporters whether the police had informed him about the potential course of events in this case, he replied negatively.

"Absolutely not, but I made it clear that I am available and will always respond to a summons because I am completely confident that I have done nothing illegal and have honorably fulfilled my duties. It is up to them to do their job, and I am here and will always respond when called," said Simic, who arrived at the police station around 4 PM, accompanied by lawyer Milos Delevic.

Earlier today, Ivan Zaporozac, president of the Temporary Municipal Authority of Kosovska Mitrovica, was also questioned, and yesterday, former mayor of North Mitrovica Milan Radojevic was questioned at the police station in North Mitrovica.
