Additional information
Bogoljub Karić is a Serbian businessman and politician. Together with his family members, he developed a network of real estate companies in Belarus and has cultivated a network of contacts with the family of Aliaksandr Lukashenka. In particular, he has been closely associated with Dana Holdings and its former subsidiary Dana Astra, and he reportedly represented those entities during meetings with Lukashenka. The Minsk World project, which was developed by a company associated with Karić, was described by Lukashenka as “an example of cooperation of the
Slavonic world”. Thanks to those close relationships with Lukashenka and his entourage, companies associated with Karić received preferential
treatment from the Lukashenka regime, including tax breaks and plots of land for real estate development. He is therefore benefitting from and supporting the Lukashenka regime.
