The Serbian Prosecutor’s Office has officially responded to Poland\u2019s request for legal assistance regarding former Deputy Justice Minister Marcin Romanowski, marking a new stage in the search for the fugitive official. <\/p>\n
The Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office of Serbia has confirmed receipt of the Polish National Prosecutor’s Office\u2019s request regarding Marcin Romanowski. Branko Stamenkovi\u0107, who leads the department for mutual legal assistance, stated that the communication involved specific actions requested by the Polish side.<\/p>\n
Serbia provided its response on June 26, 2026. While this confirms a formal exchange of information between the two nations, it does not verify Romanowski’s presence on Serbian soil. Belgrade is currently awaiting further input from Polish authorities.<\/p>\n
On the same day the documents were processed, Prosecutor General Waldemar \u017burek held talks with his Serbian counterpart, Zagorka Dolovac. Serbian officials pledged cooperation, though they offered no confirmation regarding whether Romanowski is currently in the country.<\/p>\n
Media reports suggest the former deputy minister may be hiding in the Balkans. He was previously tracked to Hungary, where he reportedly obtained international protection, though sources indicate he vacated a Budapest apartment following the expiration of a lease.<\/p>\n
Romanowski is subject to a European Arrest Warrant (EAW), which his defense team has formally requested to be overturned. Defense attorneys argue that the EAW is intended for cooperation between European Union member states, and Serbia currently sits outside that framework.<\/p>\n
The Warsaw court has yet to rule on the motion. Until a judicial decision is reached, the EAW remains an active instrument used by Polish authorities in the ongoing search for Romanowski across the European Union.<\/p>\n
Marcin Romanowski is a suspect in a high-profile investigation involving the Justice Fund. The case centers on 19 charges, including allegations of exceeding official powers, participation in an organized criminal group, and the misappropriation of public funds.<\/p>\n
The proceedings examine the management of the Justice Fund, which was intended to finance aid for crime victims and post-penitentiary support. Prosecutors are scrutinizing the grant-awarding procedures and administrative decisions made by the Ministry of Justice during the previous government’s term.<\/p>\n
The progression of the case now hinges on two primary factors: the continued exchange of information between the Polish National Prosecutor’s Office and Serbian authorities, and the impending court ruling on the defense’s request to rescind the EAW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
