Željko Vujović suspected of attempted murder in Bileća car attack

Željko Vujović has been handed over to the Trebinje District Public Prosecutor's Office following a violent incident at a horse racing event in the village of Bijeljani near Bileća. Vujović is suspected of attempting heavy murder after allegedly using a passenger vehicle to intentionally strike multiple people.

The incident reportedly began after a dispute where Vujović allegedly threw tables and chairs near a group of young men. Following the confrontation, Vujović is accused of running over four individuals; three sustained minor injuries, while one remains in intensive care.

Authorities have also arrested three accomplices. Mirko Samardžić is implicated in the incident, while Goran Čubrilo is suspected of aiding Vujović's escape by transporting him and Samardžić to another location. Additionally, Marija Ivković is suspected of preventing the investigation by allegedly collecting and hiding vehicle parts that fell from the Audi used during the attack.

Vujović has an extensive criminal history, with authorities noting he has faced eight indictments and has seven prior convictions. The prosecutor's office has requested detention for the suspects to prevent the destruction of evidence or interference with witnesses.
