Two illegal adoptions reported: prosecutor declines prosecution — KTRKO 533/23 (November 2023)

The correspondence begins with the author’s report on 15 November 2023. This link returns to that event in the chronology.

I am the victim of two illegal adoptions by the Centre for Social Work in Novi Sad. The first was carried out to take away my inheritance after my late father Pavle Lakatoš, who died on 7 November 1978 and with whom I had lived in Bački Vinogradi until then. I was given for illegal adoption on 21 June 1979, only seven days before my fifth birthday, because after that age full adoption was no longer possible under the law then in force. The first illegal adopters were from Budisava. They had their first interview with the social worker on 12 June 1979, with the pedagogue on 18 June 1979 and with the psychologist on 19 June 1979, and the adoption decision was made on 21 June 1979: exactly nine (NINE) days, a record in its own right! I was given for illegal adoption again in September 1984. The law was clearly violated there, because under the law an adopted child cannot be adopted again.

The prosecutor’s response is dated 20 November 2023. This link returns to that event, with the later email transmission recorded in its details.

We inform you that no criminal prosecution will be undertaken in connection with the submission that you delivered to this Public Prosecutor’s Office on 15 November 2023, because in this specific case it cannot be established that any person committed a criminal offence prosecuted ex officio for which this Public Prosecutor’s Office has subject-matter and territorial jurisdiction and for which the limitation period for criminal prosecution has not expired. I therefore consider that, in this specific matter entered in this Public Prosecutor’s Office’s “KTRKO” register, there are no grounds to initiate criminal proceedings in connection with the described criminal-law event.

The 2023 email expressly invokes the father’s acknowledgment during his divorce. The earlier P-1642/76 court file contains the statements to compare with that report.

I was born as Miletić Milivoj to my mother Cvita Miletić and my father Pavle Lakatoš, outside marriage. My father acknowledged me before the court during his divorce from his first wife. I do not know whether that information was entered in the civil registers and later deleted, because I was not allowed to inspect that register at the registry office. An arrogant person there, whose only name I know is Rajka, addressed me rudely.

The author asks how a child could be removed from inheritance through adoption during probate. The O.196/79 exclusion file is the corresponding earlier court record.

How can a child who is among the heirs be removed by adoption while the probate proceedings are ongoing?

The email identifies the first adoption date as 21 June 1979. The linked record is that adoption act; it supports comparison of the reported date and identity change.

The author reports the use of the first adopter’s consent for a second adoption. The linked 1984 consent record is the underlying statement to examine alongside that allegation.

I was illegally adopted again in September 1984, with those two persons again involved. And what is the height of audacity: they use the first adopter's statement consenting to my further adoption as the statement of a biological parent, which is a shocking violation of the law. There I become Milan Petrović.

The author reports a second adoption in September 1984 and the name Milan Petrović. The linked record contains the second adoption act.
