In February, OCCRP partner the Crime and Corruption Reporting Network (KRIK) published an investigation revealing that Loncar received an apartment in 2002 belonging to the wife of a hitman for the Zemun Clan, and later resold it for a profit.
The revelation followed accusations made more than a decade ago by former gangsters that in 2002 Loncar, then a doctor, had received an apartment as payment for the murder in hospital of gangster Veselin Bozovic, a rival of the Zemun Clan who had survived an earlier shooting attack.
Speaking at a press conference at the parliament in Belgrade, Vucic praised his new cabinet team, which included members of the Socialist Party and independents.
“This will be a government of success, experience and freshness,” he said.
