Serbian Ambassador Ivan Todorov caught in police raid in Pale
Members of the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ) of the Republika Srpska Ministry of Internal Affairs reportedly used physical force against several individuals during a police operation at a restaurant in Pale.
Among those affected were the Serbian Ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ivan Todorov, and the Honorary Consul of Bangladesh, Omar Musabegović. Reports suggest that the police entered the establishment with long-barreled weapons and ordered guests to the floor. The incident reportedly occurred while authorities were attempting to apprehend Milutin Mića Danilović, described as a person from a criminal background; however, Danilović was not arrested.
The District Public Prosecutor's Office in East Sarajevo stated that it had not issued any orders for police action in Pale regarding this event and that no criminal reports have been filed with the duty prosecutor. Marinko Božović, the head of East Ilidža, has called for leadership accountability, describing the situation as a scandal and questioning the planning and authorization of the operation.
