An investigation conducted by birn has linked the origin of two Mercedes G-Class vehicles to a broader network of companies allegedly monopolizing Serbia’s energy and transport infrastructure. The analysis suggests that this network may be utilizing public funds amounting to millions of euros. The focus of the investigation stems from an incident in September 2023.
At that time, Kosovo police displayed a collection of weaponry confiscated from an armed Serbian group implicated in the death of Albanian figure Afrim Bunjaku. During the media coverage of this display, two prominent luxury, four-wheel-drive Mercedes Benz SUVs were visible in the background. Initial media attention during the event centered on the military-grade arsenal, which included anti-personnel mines and mortar shells.
However, the subsequent analysis by birn shifted focus to the provenance of the vehicles. The connection drawn between these specific vehicles and the broader commercial activities points toward potential irregularities within the national market. The report suggests that the ownership or use of these assets may be tied to tender processes that favor a limited group of enterprises.
The findings indicate that the analysis of the vehicles used during the Banjska incident has provided a pathway to examine corporate structures within critical Serbian sectors. This raises questions regarding the transparency of public tenders and the distribution of resources across the energy and transport sectors. The investigation continues to examine how these assets relate to the alleged monopolistic practices and the utilization of state funds.
