<article>The Serbian public heard about Zvonko Veselinovic for the first time in 2011, when he was presented as one of the biggest heroes of the "defense" of the Serbs in Kosovo. While the local Serbs were preventing the secession of Kosovo from Serbia at the barricades for months and the representatives of all political parties referred to Veselinovic as hero, his machines, bulldozers and trucks were digging new, alternative roads on the administrative line with Kosovo. According to Insajder's research, these roads have been used for smuggling between Serbia and Kosovo for years.When Veselinovic was arrested at the end of 2011, it was unclear at first whether he was arrested upon the request of KFOR for setting up barricades, or for the violations he is suspected of by Serbia. It turned out that it was for the indictment for taking possession of the 32 trucks.In 2012, after the authorities changed, he was released pending trial. According to reports in the media, he has been doing various jobs since then. The media have reported that he had indirectly participated in one of the biggest state projects - the construction of Corridor 11, and that he was building a luxury hotel on Mount Kopaonik.This information has not been officially confirmed to this day.Here is a recollection of the evidence about how Zvonko Veselinovic built an empire in Kosovo, which jobs he had been doing and how he had recognized Kosovo as an independent state for business reasons. We proved all this in the research for the series Patriotic Looting, which was broadcast on TV B92 in 2012.</article>
