Serbian Prosecutors Indict Former Belgrade Police Chief Milić in Senjak Murder Case

Nearly two months after the murder of Aleksandar Nešović at the "27" restaurant in Belgrade's Senjak neighborhood, Serbian prosecutors have filed charges against Veselin Milić, the former head of Belgrade police. The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office (VJT) has submitted an indictment against Milić to the Higher Court in Belgrade, suspecting him of failing to report a crime and official document forgery.

“

Veselin M. was, as reasonably suspected, called by the owner of the restaurant “27” Nenad L. via the “WhatsApp” application after 11 p.m. on May 12, to report to him as a police officer whom he personally knows and in whom he trusts, that A.N. was killed in his restaurant, which the defendant Veselin M. did not report to anyone.

The VJT alleges that Nenad L., the owner of the restaurant and a co-defendant, contacted Milić via WhatsApp on the night of May 12 after Nešović was killed. Milić, who knew the owner personally, allegedly did not report the incident to anyone. The prosecution also claims Milić falsely stated in an official report that he had coincidentally met Saša Vuković at the restaurant on May 12, when in fact, he had personally called Vuković to come to the establishment.

“

He falsely stated that on May 12, 2026, he accidentally met the defendant Saša V. in the restaurant “27”, although he had previously personally called him to come to the restaurant.

On the same day, the VJT also filed charges against Saša Vuković, identified as "Bosket," for the premeditated murder of Aleksandar Nešović. Vuković is accused of aggravated murder, along with illegal production, possession, carrying, and trafficking of weapons and explosives. The prosecution's statement detailed that Nešović was hit by 10 to 14 projectiles fired from a handgun, based on autopsy and ballistics reports released due to public interest and to counter misinformation.

Vuković is charged with the criminal offense of aggravated murder in conjunction with the criminal offense of illegal production, possession, carrying, and trafficking of weapons and explosives.

Additionally, the VJT decided to drop the investigation into Danka Vuković, Saša Vuković's wife, who was suspected of aiding in the murder. Jasmina Paunović, a retired prosecutor, commented that the separate indictment against Milić might be intended to lead the court to declare itself incompetent, suggesting a potential lack of a judicial conclusion. She also noted that the restaurant's formal owner might possess significant information, potentially allowing for a deal with a cooperating witness.

Based on the characteristics of the wounds, it can be concluded that between 10 and 14 projectiles fired from a hand-held firearm were inflicted.
