The US Treasury Department's Office for Foreign Property Control has hit corruption networks in several countries in Europe and the Northern Hemisphere, among them, Zvonko Veselinovic and his organised crime group as responsible for trafficking of goods, money, narcotics and arms between Kosovo and Serbia.

In this office's communiqué, Zvonko Veselinovic and his brother Zarko Jovan Veselinovic have had agreements with politicians to help their parties win the elections, and in exchange, politicians would guarantee the Veselinovic brothers control of several businesses in some regions.
