Businessman reports city to anti-corruption office; opposition list targets county contracts

Goran Ivezić, director of Royal Holding and co-owner of the Infopix portal, has lodged multiple criminal complaints with USKOK against individuals associated with the City of Slavonski Brod. Ivezić alleges an organized and illegal campaign aimed at disrupting his business, causing financial damage, and tarnishing his reputation.

“

The problems started after the Infopix portal published texts about the procurement of sand for the children's playground near the Vijuš hall and raised other questions related to the work of the city administration.

Ivezić asserts that the problems escalated after Infopix published articles in January scrutinizing the procurement of sand for a children's playground and raising other concerns about the city administration's operations. He pointed to a specific case involving a business space at the city pools, where, after seven years of operation, a series of inspections and decisions led to him losing the space. Ivezić stated he received a bill for over 6,000 euros for allegedly unauthorized use of public space, without a formal decision he could appeal.

“

After seven years of business, suddenly a series of controls and decisions began that ended with the loss of the space.

Simultaneously, Ivezić addressed a statement released by the Independent List of Mirko Duspara, which accused his company, BAU BUILD, of potential irregularities in public procurement with the Brod-Posavina County. The Independent List claims BAU BUILD generated significant revenue in 2025, with a substantial portion paid from the county budget through simplified procurement procedures. They are demanding answers from the county governor regarding contracts and orders, specifically questioning work on a school in Oprisavci, alleging that contracts were split to avoid open tenders.

“

In 2025, [BAU BUILD] achieved revenue of 282,532 euros, of which, according to their claims, 224,015 euros were paid from the budget of the Brod-Posavina County through simplified procurement procedures.

The Independent List also seeks an explanation for payments made to BAU BUILD for intellectual and personal services and has urged relevant authorities to investigate all contracts and financial flows connected to the company. Ivezić suggested the timing of the Independent List's statement was not coincidental, implying a coordinated effort against him.

The jobs were divided into two simplified procurement procedures to avoid an open procedure.
