Dragan Tomić

Dragan Tomić (Serbian Cyrillic: Драган Томић; 9 December 1935 – 21 June 2022)[1][2] was a Serbian politician who served as the president of the National Assembly of Serbia from 1994 to 2001.

[3][4] He was a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia and was considered a loyal supporter of Slobodan Milošević.

A 2000 report by Germany's Federal Intelligence Service alleged that Milošević essentially ran a criminal operation, particularly after the 1992 sanctions on Yugoslavia caused "massive smuggling operations...controlled by Milošević and his cronies, who made vast profits from it"; Tomić was named as one of those cronies.

[8] Under Milošević's regime, Tomić led Jugopetrol when "fuel-smuggling was a multi-million dollar business",[9] and "reportedly profited handsomely from the illicit oil that flowed into Serbia during sanctions".

[10] Serbian mobster and paramilitary leader Arkan gave Tomić a medal because he had provided gasoline for Arkan's Serb Volunteer Guard, a paramilitary unit suspected of war crimes and ethnic cleansing.
