Belgrade-based tabloid Alo reported two days ago that the leader of the Serb European Movement from Kosovo, Rada Trajkovic gave a statement to the Kosovo Prosecutor’s Office which was allegedly the reason why the custody of two Serbs from Mitrovica North, accused of involvement in the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, was extended, KoSSev portal reports.
Meanwhile, Office for Kosovo and Metohija Director Marko Djuric harshly criticized Trajkovic yesterday, while Trajkovic herself denied these allegations, arguing she was not a witness in Ivanovic’s case.
Alliance for Serbia (SzS) has condemned today “a lynch and drawing a target on Rada Trajkovic” conducted, as they said in the press statement, “by the regime tabloid Alo and Marko Djuric,” Danas daily reported.
According to the Alliance for Serbia, the tabloid Alo and Djuric “utter monstrous lies on the involvement of Rada Trajkovic in the murder investigation of Oliver Ivanovic, run by the Kosovo prosecution.”
The tabloid Alo accused the Kosovo Serb politician Rada Trajkovic yesterday of testifying in case of the murder of Oliver Ivanovic thus “becoming an accomplice in the plot to steer the Ivanovic’s murder investigation in the wrong direction and accuse the state of Serbia, its political elite and security structures of this act”, KoSSev portal reported.
Civic Initiative Freedom, Democracy, Justice (GI SDP) warned today that even after 15 months since the murder of its leader Oliver Ivanovic “there are still no official details or facts” related to this crime, Danas daily reports.
SDP recalled in the statement that Kosovo Special Prosecutor recently stated the investigation into Ivanovic’s murder is still ongoing, while the Serbian Prosecution, as the SDP said, “did not even make a statement.”
By gathering evidence during the investigation, we have come to the reasonable suspicion that Radoicic worked with people who are now in custody, and who are suspected of having participated or assisting the perpetrators of the murder of the SDP leader, Oliver Ivanovic. Of course, all this has yet to be confirmed, says the Kosovo Special Prosecutor, Sylë Hoxha to the Belgrade based weekly NIN, KIM radio is quoting.
“Those are political statements, I do not have such information,“ Kosovo Special Prosecutor in the investigation of Oliver Ivanovic’s murder, Sylë Hoxha told KoSSev portal, following a series of mutual accusations between Belgrade and Pristina on who are the perpetrators and instigators of the murder of Kosovo Serb leader. Hoxha also urged them to report any information they might have.
