Suspect in Belgrade murder details business ties and conflicts with victim

Saša Vuković, also known as "Boske" and suspected of direct involvement in the murder of Aleksandar Nešović on May 12, has provided his testimony to the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade. Over a month after his arrest, Vuković spoke about his relationship with the deceased, their shared business activities, and the conflicts that arose between them.

Vuković stated he had known Nešović for about ten years, initially as acquaintances. Their relationship intensified when Vuković, a real estate professional for over two decades, assisted Nešović with some paperwork. This led to a closer association, including introductions to Nešović's godfather, Dejan N., who worked in Switzerland. Dejan N. introduced Vuković to his business partner, Blagoje A., who managed a Swiss holding company named "DHG."

Vuković initially perceived Blagoje A. as a serious international investor. They discussed potential real estate investments, including a specific location in New Belgrade. A meeting was held with Blagoje A., Dejan N., Nešović, and Vuković to discuss forming a joint company to acquire the New Belgrade property. However, Vuković later learned about an upcoming city land auction for the same parcel, with Blagoje A.'s firm planning to bid €3 million. Blagoje A. subsequently established a Serbian branch of "DHG" under his daughter's name.

Disagreements reportedly emerged regarding profit sharing, with Vuković and Nešović expecting a 25% stake each in the venture, which was initially funded solely by Blagoje A.'s company. The situation became more complex when Vuković discovered plans for significantly larger construction potential on the New Belgrade site than initially anticipated. A subsequent meeting to discuss whether to sell the land immediately or develop it first led to further tension, particularly after Nešović expressed dissatisfaction with a revised share distribution proposed by Dejan N. and Blagoje A.
