Serbian Politician Claims Security Services Leaked Murder Details Abroad

Information about a murder in Belgrade was leaked by someone within the security services to a foreign citizen, according to Aleksandar Ivanović, a member of the National Movement of Serbia and the Security Services Control Committee. Ivanović stated that it is impossible for security service personnel not to have had data on the Senjak murder, asserting that the information was sold to an individual abroad who then published it.

The opposition politician explained that the opposition has requested a parliamentary session to discuss a vote of no confidence in the government due to a deep national crisis. He implicated Prime Minister Đuro Macut in the Senjak murder, noting that the Prime Minister dined at the restaurant "27" the day after the crime. Ivanović drew a parallel to the British Prime Minister dining in London the day after a murder, especially when the head of London's police had met with criminal elements the previous night.

Ivanović highlighted that Veselin Milić, the former head of the Belgrade police, served as a special advisor to Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and was considered a trusted figure. He questioned how, within the entire system, no one had conducted a security assessment of Milić over the years and how someone earning a modest salary could possess properties worth millions of euros.

Regarding the possibility of the Security Information Agency (BIA) having knowledge of the Senjak case, Ivanović stated it's impossible that no security service lacked awareness. He pointed out that the information reached a foreign citizen who published it, suggesting an internal conflict. Ivanović observed that Vučić's close associates are reportedly killing each other, the murdered man's wife was actively collecting votes for the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), and the police chief is a close Vučić associate. He described the selling of information to rivals as a form of retaliation, where someone "at the table" shoots another, and the other sells information.

Ivanović mentioned that the National Movement of Serbia requested a special report from the BIA to the parliamentary committee for the control of security services. He raised questions about the BIA's role, how the public became aware of the murder through social media and a foreign national, and how the Prime Minister was allowed to walk over bloody tracks at the crime scene the next day. He also commented that Europe's Foreign Affairs Committee is voting on a report about Serbia, indicating Serbia is moving away from Europe and normalcy.
