An investigative journalist from the Center for Investigative Journalism (CINS), Ivana Milosavljević, has reported significant transparency issues surrounding the construction of the upcoming Expo. Appearing on N1 Studio Live, Milosavljević detailed concerns about the involvement of individuals and companies with ties to criminal groups active in the 1990s. She alleges these entities are now benefiting from contracts related to the Expo project. The lack of transparency is identified as the primary problem with the Expo’s development. Milosavljević’s reporting suggests a potential continuation of problematic business practices within the large-scale infrastructure undertaking. Further investigation is needed to fully understand the extent of these connections and their impact on the Expo’s execution. The journalist’s statements raise questions about due diligence and oversight in the awarding of construction contracts.
