Zoran Stevanović, predsednik Državnega zbora in član stranke Resnica, je trdil, da je poplačal dolge delavcem podjetja Progros, ki so ostali brez plač. Po njegovih besedah so delavci dobili nakazane vse zaostale plače – eden je dobil 6000 evrov, dva pa po 3000 evrov. Stevanović je izrazil prepričanje, da bo dolg poplačan do konca leta, kot je bilo dogovorjeno. Poslanec Boris Mijič, ki je bil v centru kontroverze zaradi očitkov o izkoriščanju delavcev, je po poročilu v sredo dopoldne še aktivno in dostopen za medije. Stevanović je ocenil, da so pritiski določenih strank proti delavcem Progrosa ogromni, kar kaže na interese strank, ki ne želijo, da bi Resnica izgubila mandat. Stranka Resnica ugotavlja, da obstaja velika plačilna nedisciplina v gradbeni panogi, in pripravlja predlog novele zakona o gradbeništvu. Opozicija, predvsem Levica, poziva k odstopu poslanca Mijiča zaradi resnih očitkov o izkoriščanju delavcev in neizplačevanju plač. Levica tudi poziva Stevanovića, naj prevzame politično odgovornost in odstopi, ker je vse čas branil in ščitil poslanca Mijiča, namesto da bi zaščitil ugled Državnega zbora.

It claims that three Resnica MPs, including Mijič, were offered bribes to switch political allegiance and that they allegedly rejected these offers. The article highlights the erosion of public trust in the political space due to these accusations.

His leader, Zoran Stevanović, initially promised to cover the debts but later pressured Mijič to settle them by year-end or resign. External parties, including construction companies CGP and Kolektor Koling, reportedly paid 32,000 euros to resolve outstanding work-related debts at Progros.
