Momir Stojanović says he was summoned again by War Crimes Prosecutor's Office: 'Perhaps this is to intimidate political opponents'

Retired Yugoslav Army General Momir Stojanović has announced he has been summoned once again by the War Crimes Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade, raising concerns about the renewed legal scrutiny.

Stojanović, a former head of security for the Priština Corps and the first director of the Military Security Agency, stated that an investigation against him was previously halted in 2019 due to insufficient evidence. He alleges that his personal information was subsequently provided to the judicial authorities in Kosovo by "someone from the state apparatus."

“

There is no fear and no going back. Serbia is behind, but not like this and with this government.

He shared documents, including court summons and official notes, detailing his previous three-year investigation. Stojanović emphasized that the initial proceedings concluded with an official note stating he had no connection to the events in question. Despite requests to the Ministry of Justice and the national Interpol office to have the red notice lifted, he claims he received no response.

Stojanović expressed suspicion that the current summons, addressed to an old address that he claims was given to Kosovo's judiciary, indicates a repetition of the entire process at the request of Kosovo's judicial system. He suggested that the renewed action might be intended to intimidate political opponents, particularly as new arrests, exhumations, and war crimes trials are underway in Kosovo.

Perhaps all of this is in function of intimidating political opponents.
