Watch: Zoran Kovac in the Epstein files
1:11Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Zoran Kovac, who writes in imperfect English from Croatia, corresponded directly with Jeffrey Epstein in October and November 2014 about buying boats. The emails cover a 40-foot RIB (rigid inflatable boat), a model called the M46, and shipping to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. The files do not say whether a purchase was completed.
All 89 documents are emails, and 19 have Kovac in the From/To/Cc header. Most are short exchanges with Epstein's [email protected] account from 16 October to 21 November 2014. Many are replies sent from a BlackBerry 10 phone, and the Croatian phrase "Poslano s pametnog telefona" ("Sent from smartphone") is the auto-signature on them. Many of the 89 are duplicate or near-duplicate copies of the same few threads, and the files contain no legal, financial, government or travel records on him.
Key Highlights
- •In mid-October 2014 Epstein replied to a thread titled "Boat RIB in Croatia????" with Boris Nikolic, copying Kovac. Epstein wrote "fast rib 40 feet boats". Nikolic asked: "Zoran can you please check."
- •On 3 November 2014 Kovac and Epstein discussed an "M46". Epstein asked whether they could "build an enclosed cockpit, windshield", and Kovac said he was waiting for a specification and that they "can do a lot of it".
- •On 6–7 November 2014 Epstein asked for "real photos" and about the condition of "tubes" and how far "the drives stick out". He also asked whether the boat could back into a dock and whether "the props stick out further than rear deck". Kovac sent photos from Pula, and one email says he had "just reach Pula".
- •On 13 November 2014 Kovac asked for the buyer's name and shipping port. Epstein answered "st thomas . us virgin isalnds" and "my name". A 14 November email from Epstein is titled "BJE llc buyer".
- •On 10 November 2014 Kovac sent a "Decision" email, and Epstein replied "i think we should get the best price. and do it." Epstein's follow-up was "done".
- •Kovac's 7 November email titled "Deal" says a "General has ordered that buyers from G...", and a 21 November email says "Army guy called". The text is cut off, so the files do not show who the buyers were or what was being sold.
- •On 21 November Kovac asked, "But Jeffrey did you make transfer?" and wrote that "for the time being only money to buy bo[at]" was needed. This suggests money was going to Kovac for the purchase, but the files do not show an amount.
- •A 13 November email says that "after we finish buying" Kovac would talk with a boat designer. In a 7 November exchange Epstein asked "boris? or boat?" and then "i didn;t knwo boris was your son?" Kovac answered that it was his son, and Epstein said he was "just joking".
