I also worked in peace keeping and doing internal investigations of UN soldiers and police and civilians. I took time in the World Bank investigating bank projects all over the world for fraud and corruption amongst our beneficiary countries. And then I returned to UN in New York as a Director of investigations decisions. So I was responsible for internal investigations function of the UN in New York: for 130,000 soldiers, police and civilians under the flag of the UN and responsible for the secretariat in New York", said Mr Stefanovic for SBS Serbian.
