(ANSA-AP) - BELGRADE, 21 NOV - A university in Serbia has
determined that the government's finance minister has
plagiarized parts of his Ph.D. thesis, in a blow to President
Aleksandar Vucic's populists.
Belgrade University said Thursday that its ethics committee
established that Sinisa Mali "literally took over texts, or
entire paragraphs, from the texts of other authors without
listing the names of the authors." There has been no immediate
comment from Mali or the government. He has repeatedly denied
plagiarizing his Ph.D. thesis, which focuses on restructuring
and privatization and their results in Serbia.
A close associate of Vucic, Mali first was the mayor of
Belgrade before joining Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic's
government. (ANSA-AP).
