The Serbian Progressive Party’s senior official Branko Malovic gained more public attention last week, when a prominent opposition figure, Marinika Tepic, identified him as the lead coordinator of the relocation of voters from several different towns to Belgrade, so that they could vote in local polls in the capital. Malovic, vice president of the Progressive’s executive committee, and party coordinator for the Southern Banat and Podunavlje regions, has been considered a very powerful figure, ruling the roost in said regions for years, which makes Tepic's claim quite logical.
