TLDR

  • Aleksandar Mimić, owner of "Super Ego Holding," denied last year any connection to Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić amidst a CBS investigation into his company's alleged exploitation of US truckers.
  • The CBS "60 Minutes" report focused on "chameleon carriers"—foreign-owned trucking fleets that change identity after accumulating safety violations.
  • Mimić's company was previously linked in Serbian media to a controversial visit by President Vučić to Florida, where rumors suggested his company might have funded an invitation to a Republican Party donor dinner.

N1 Serbia reports on Aleksandar Mimić, the owner of "Super Ego Holding," a company now under scrutiny by CBS for allegedly exploiting American truckers. Mimić himself previously denied any ties to Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić when his company was linked to a controversial visit by the president to Florida.

Ja sam u toj večeri i tom dolazku saznao preko društvenih medija i televizije

— Aleksandar MimićMimić's statement to Insajder about learning about President Vučić's visit to Florida through social media and television.

The American investigation by "60 Minutes" highlights the issue of "chameleon carriers"—commercial trucking fleets, often foreign-owned, that operate by frequently changing their identity to evade regulations and safety standards. "Super Ego Holding," with operations in both Serbia and the US, is central to this investigation and faces a collective lawsuit from American drivers.

Ja lično nisam, niti firma, niti niko iz moje firme. Da li je neko drugi iz Amerike lobirao, ali neki drugi ljudi, to stvarno ne znam i ne ulazim u to.

— Aleksandar MimićMimić denying his personal or company involvement in lobbying related to President Vučić's visit.

This situation is particularly sensitive in Serbia due to the past media speculation connecting Mimić's business success to President Vučić's Florida visit. Rumors circulated that "Super Ego Holding" might have financed an invitation for the Serbian delegation to a Republican donor event, a claim Mimić has vehemently denied. He stated to Insajder that neither he nor his company were involved in facilitating the visit or paying for any invitations, learning about the events primarily through social media and television.

Ne, apsolutno ne.

— Aleksandar MimićMimić's response when asked if he or his company 'Super Ego' paid for anything related to the Serbian delegation's visit.
