La società di Mijić: accuse per sospetto di violazione dei diritti dei lavoratori e falsificazione di documenti

The case involving the business of MP Borislav Mijič has sparked significant public interest and legal scrutiny. According to reports from multiple sources, the police have initiated two separate criminal proceedings against both physical and legal persons, alleging violations of workers' rights and forgery of documents. These proceedings were based on complaints filed mid-2025, leading to formal charges being laid by year-end 2025 and again in June 2026. The accused parties include Mijič himself and his company, Progros. Due to privacy concerns, specific identities of individuals involved have not been disclosed, though the portal Necenzurirano has confirmed that the allegations concern Mijič. The accusations suggest that the company failed to pay its employees and potentially forged signatures on resignation forms used to remove workers from the Social Security Institute’s records.

The issues reportedly began in 2024 when the Employment Agency placed Progros on a blacklist of employers who had violated rules regarding hiring foreigners. This followed a notice from the Slovenian Financial Administration (Furs) indicating that Progros had not submitted tax returns for income from employment relationships nor settled social security contributions. Despite being on the blacklist, Mijič allegedly sought foreign workers with valid work permits already working in Slovenia, as they were exempt from the restriction. However, in 2025, the company allegedly delayed salary payments, with some workers receiving only a minimum wage for two months and others receiving just basic social contributions. As a result, these workers reportedly filed complaints with the police.

In addition to the police actions, three former employees shared their experiences with the Workers’ Advisory Service and Informational Workers’ Center, revealing that Progros still owes them unpaid claims. They also noted that there was suspicion of criminal acts involving document forgery. According to these accounts, the workers were removed from insurance records due to resignations signed by them, but these signatures were later found to be forged. Furthermore, it was revealed that Mijič has been representing the company since late May of this year, having previously served as a procurator from June 2023 to May 2024, and earlier from January 2016 to April 2020. Goran Lukić, representative of the Workers’ Advisory Service, emphasized that this situation does not indicate a sudden involvement of Mijič in the company's affairs, but rather that the issue is clear and evident from public financial statements.

Mijič is currently collaborating with his wife's company on the construction project of the Ljubljana Railway Station. Additionally, the Commission for Prevention of Corruption (KPK) received a complaint about Mijič, which includes various allegations, including conflicts of interest. Meanwhile, Zoran Stevanović, president of the party Resni.ca and head of the National Assembly, has publicly condemned the actions taken against the workers, stating he will personally settle any outstanding debts. He has called upon workers to contact him directly if they have unresolved obligations from their employers, promising to use personal savings to ensure they receive what is rightfully theirs. Stevanović has also stated that he feels morally and politically responsible for the situation, and has launched an internal process within the party to investigate all circumstances surrounding Mijič’s conduct. He has urged Mijič to fully cooperate and provide explanations, emphasizing that the party will not protect anyone involved.

Despite these assurances, Stevanović's approach has drawn criticism, with Lukić suggesting that Stevanović is exploiting vulnerable workers and displaying political opportunism. Nevertheless, Stevanović maintains that the situation is not a political maneuver but rather a matter of responsibility. As the legal proceedings continue, the public and media remain attentive to how this case unfolds, particularly given the potential implications for both the individual and the broader political landscape.
