Belgrade prosecutors issue arrest warrants for sports officials and journalists' attackers

The Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade has issued arrest warrants for several individuals involved in two separate legal matters.

In the first case, five individuals are suspected of threatening the safety of journalist Brankica Stanković. The incident allegedly occurred on June 6, 2023, during a Partizan versus Cedevita Olimpija basketball game at the Belgrade Arena, where suspects reportedly chanted insulting and threatening songs. Two suspects, D. M. and R. R., have been detained, while police are searching for three others: S. S., O. I., and A. N.

In a second matter, arrest warrants were issued for Ivan Bošnjak and Stojan Vujko, owners of Millennium Team, as well as Andrej Đulić of Danube Riverside. They are suspected of illegal construction without a permit regarding works at the former Hotel Jugoslavija site in Belgrade. Bošnjak and Vujko also hold high-ranking positions within the Red Star Sports Society and the Serbian Olympic Committee. The suspects have reportedly filed requests to recuse the lead prosecutor and two experts involved in the case.
