Report showing money flow to buy Kosovo recognition

In March of this year in distant Venezuela, the foreign minister of this state was meeting Vladimir Cizej.

A businessman's meeting with a subordinate of dictator Maduro would not have to disturb Kosovo if it were not for this pro-Russian state, and this businessman would then engage in an entire lobby network to buy the withdrawal of Kosovo's independence through various states.

The Kosovo Republic Foreign Ministry has accused exactly this businessman, who is close adviser to Serbia's Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic.

Beyond the charges, PORTALI.info has provided a report to the international organisation “Forensics for Justice”, in which it describes interesting details that involve this businessman from Serbia to financial transactions in the campaign to purchase withdrawals.

In a statement by a witness on this report that examines former South African Foreign Minister David Mahlobo, relates how this former minister had asked the witness to open three mobile companies that would receive money from Vlatko, who are Cizej's company.

According to this evidence, money that would be paid as if services to Vlatko were actually used to buy the appeal of Kosovo recognition.

Who is Vladimir Cizelj?

Vladimir Cizej, is Slovenian national and his name is linked to several issues in Serbia.

It is mentioned in the so-called “Valage” of 2006, when then National Bank of Serbia Deputy Governor Dejan Simic, and a Socialist Party official, Vladimir Zagradan, were arrested on the bribery charge, allegedly returning the National Bank of Serbia's license to Export Credit Bank (KEB).

This arrest allegedly took place 15 minutes after Ivica Dacic left Simay's apartment.

Vladimir Cizej was a shareholder of the Group “TBI” owned by the Export Credit Bank.

All of this relative's acters were released in 2011.

In 2012, media reported that Vladimir Cizej's company “Vlatacom” had delivered equipment for the International Sports Meeting “Univesida” in Belgrade, a year and a half after the activities of this organisation were held.

The contract for the purchase of equipment with the company “Vlatacom” was signed by the Interior Ministry, which was then run by Ivica Dacic.

On the other hand, Kosovo's Foreign Ministry, in a statement days ago, says Cizelj was involved in a known scandal in South Africa's Botswana for selling encryption systems through taking bribes from senior government officials.

But this country had denied contracting the company “Vlatacom”.

Interestingly, Belgrade-based “Vlatacom” launched a meeting of representatives of the Ministry of Defence of Serbia and Botswana in 2017. At this meeting it was declared, among other things, that the “support of Botswana in Serbia's efforts to preserve sovereignty and territorial integrity in Kosovo” is a good basis for further co-operation between the two ministries.

The company “Institute Vlatko” develops computer products, such as systems for issuing personal and travel biometric documents, identity confirmation systems, traffic control, etc.

According to data from the financial report in 2018, Vlatko owns “Centre VT” in Belgrade, and the firm Vlatko in Botswana, and that its products for automatic control of travel documents, and passenger records are used at international crossings in Serbia, Nigeria and Moldova.

Several state institutions in Angola, Botswana, Nigeria, Iraq and Slovakia are also reported to use equipment developed by “Vlatacom”.

Russia's ties to the Central African Republic

In recent years Russia has strengthened its influence in the Central African Republic. In August of last year, it signed military co-operation agreements with the country.

On April 24, 2019, he signed another agreement to establish a Russian Defence Ministry representation office in the Central African Ministry of Defence, aimed at strengthening co-operation between the armies of the two countries.

In June 2018, the French newspaper “Le Monde” published a text about the arrival of Russian intelligence officers in the Central African Republic to train the local army. 

The following is the report provided by PORTALI.info of the organization that infiltrates Cizej:
