A political figure in Slovenia, Boris Mijič, a member of the Resnica party, finds himself at the center of controversy involving his business operations and alleged legal violations. The situation revolves around his company, Progros, which has been under scrutiny due to financial irregularities and potential criminal activities. According to reports from multiple media outlets, including Necenzurirano and N1 Slovenija, Mijič's company appears to have been struggling financially, accumulating debts to the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (Furs). This debt reportedly amounts to approximately 32,000 euros, which Mijič allegedly plans to settle using funds from construction companies CGP and Kolektor Koling, who were partners in a project involving the building of a prison in Dobrunja.
The construction projects in question involve Progros as a subcontractor. According to the information shared, these companies have already paid Progros about 195,000 euros, with the total value of the work estimated at 113,448 euros. This suggests that there might still be some unpaid sums that could potentially cover Mijič’s outstanding tax debt. However, the exact nature of this agreement remains unclear, as the final contract between the two construction firms and Mijič has yet to be finalized, according to unofficial sources.
The Resnica party has stated that Mijič is not avoiding responsibility regarding the issues faced by Progros, which he took over in May of the previous year. They claim that the payment of obligations to several business partners is crucial for the complete recovery of the company's operations. Additionally, the party leader, Zoran Stevanović, announced that he would personally help pay off the debts owed to Progros employees from his personal savings, emphasizing that such actions are unacceptable if workers were wronged.
The allegations against Mijič extend beyond financial mismanagement. Reports indicate that three former employees of Progros have come forward with claims that they were improperly terminated and their insurance benefits were canceled based on forged signatures. These employees were reportedly removed from insurance records without proper documentation, leading to suspicions of forgery and possible legal violations. The Labor Advisory Center and the Informational Labor Center have highlighted these concerns, suggesting that Mijič may have engaged in illegal practices related to employee termination and insurance cancellation.
The police have also taken notice of these allegations. In two separate cases, the police initiated investigations into suspected violations of fundamental worker rights and document forgery. By the end of 2025, the police issued a criminal charge against one physical and one legal person in one case, and in another case, they issued charges against two physical and one legal person in June of this year. Although specific identities were not disclosed due to privacy laws, the media speculate that Mijič could be among those charged.
Furthermore, the Inspectorate for Labor has been monitoring Progros for the past two years, citing numerous violations, including improper handling of employee refunds, signing employment contracts for fixed periods without stating reasons, and failing to provide documentation regarding insurance enrollment and deregistration. The inspectorate noted that attempts to conduct inspections at the company's registered address in Ljubljana were unsuccessful because the premises did not exist. Despite repeated requests for documentation, the company failed to respond, resulting in multiple payment notices being issued.
Mijič's role within Progros has also changed recently. He is no longer the director of the company, having stepped down on June 15th, with his father, Miladin Mijič, taking over the position. This transition occurred during a period when Mijič's business activities were under public scrutiny due to his new political role as a member of parliament.
The situation surrounding Mijič and Progros highlights broader issues concerning corporate accountability, labor rights, and the intersection of politics and business in Slovenia. As the investigation continues, the outcome will likely depend on the findings of both the police and the labor inspectorate, as well as the response from Mijič and the Resnica party. The resolution of these matters could set important precedents for how similar situations are handled in the future, particularly regarding the responsibilities of politicians who engage in commercial ventures.

According to reports, two major construction companies, CGP and Kolektor Koling, which had Progros as a subcontractor during the construction of a new prison in Dobrunja, have agreed to pay an additional 32,000 euros for unaccounted work done by Progros. This amount nearly matches the tax debt owed by Mijič's company. The prison was completed in April of last year but received its operational permit only in November. Both construction firms discovered after more than a year that Progros had not been paid for all the work performed. Recently, over 30,000 euros has been transferred to Progros' account, potentially resolving the tax debt.
