The murder of the Serb politician from Kosovo Oliver Ivanovic was “planned in a professional manner and had political background”; “Oliver was definitely liquidated for political reasons as he was considered an obstacle due to his political views”, Ivanovic’s brother and Kosovo’s Court of Appeal judge, Miroslav Ivanovic said, Independent Balkan News Agency (IBNA) reported.
Miroslav Ivanovic told Danas daily that he does not have any information about the judicial process with regard to the murder of his brother. “This process takes place mostly in the public sphere”, Ivanovic said.
Oliver Ivanovic, leader of the Civic Initiative “Serbia, Democracy, Justice”, was killed seven months ago in the town of Mitrovica North. His party colleagues say the perpetrators of the crime are still unknown.
When asked whether his brother was killed as a possible opponent to the division of Kosovo or the demarcation between Kosovo and Serbia, Miroslav Ivanovic said that such a scenario was “quite possible”. “When it comes to making conclusions, I am a pretty reserved person. However, Oliver really did have a different approach about the division and demarcation and he had said so on many occasions. That could be seen on the Internet, especially in videos of the second half of 2017”.
