Cameras capture execution in Belgrade cafe: Handshake precedes fatal shooting

A shocking act of violence unfolded in a Belgrade cafe when a 46-year-old man was fatally shot moments after greeting his assailant. Surveillance cameras recorded the entire incident, showing the victim and the attacker engaging in a handshake before the shooting occurred.

The footage reveals that after the brief, seemingly amicable exchange, the victim turned to walk away. The attacker then drew a pistol and fired multiple shots into the victim's back. The violence did not stop there; the assailant also opened fire on another man, a 49-year-old, seated at the same table, who sustained serious injuries and required medical attention.

Reports indicate the deceased man was known to the police and had previously faced legal proceedings for a 2018 murder. He was also arrested in Zagreb the same year on an international warrant. Serbian media suggest the victim was linked to the "škaljarski" clan, while the individual whose murder was previously associated with the victim's name was reportedly close to the rival "kavački" clan.

Authorities are conducting an intensive investigation and are actively searching for the perpetrator, who fled the scene immediately after the shooting. The motive behind the attack remains under investigation.
