Disputes In February 2014 Serbian media reported that a female government employee alleged that she had been subjected to inappropriate behavior and threats by a high-ranking official within the General Secretariat of the Government of Serbia. According to the reports, the employee claimed that the official had initially assisted her in obtaining her position, but later began to act in a threatening manner when she feared she might be dismissed.

The timing of the allegations, which came after the employee reportedly learned she was about to be removed from her role, has led to public debate about the credibility and potential motivations behind the claims. As of January 2026, no formal criminal complaint or internal disciplinary procedure has been publicly confirmed. The accused official has not responded publicly, and no official action has been taken against him.
