  • Predrag Vujović, former director of JAT, criticized regulatory issues facing Wizz Air in Serbia.
  • He described the decision as having far-reaching negative consequences for air traffic participants, benefiting only one entity.
  • Vujović compared the situation to "Mrdić's laws" in aviation, suggesting a problematic regulatory environment.

Predrag Vujović, the former director of the former Yugoslav Airlines (JAT), has voiced strong criticism regarding regulatory challenges that the Hungarian airline Wizz Air might encounter in Serbia. Vujović described the situation as reminiscent of "Mrdić's laws" within the aviation sector, indicating a regulatory framework that he believes is detrimental.

"This resembles 'Mrdić's laws,' but in aviation. This is a decision that will have far-reaching negative consequences on multiple elements involved in air traffic, benefiting only one party," Vujović stated in an interview with N1. His assessment suggests that the regulatory measures disproportionately favor a single entity while creating significant difficulties for others operating within the Serbian air transport system.

Vujović's comments highlight concerns about the fairness and impact of Serbia's aviation regulations. The former director implied that the current regulatory environment could stifle competition and negatively affect the broader air travel industry in the country. The comparison to "Mrdić's laws" suggests a history of problematic or biased regulatory decisions that have previously impacted Serbian industries.

This resembles 'Mrdić's laws,' but in aviation. This is a decision that will have far-reaching negative consequences on multiple elements involved in air traffic, benefiting only one party.
