Novi Pazar police investigation shifts after teenager denies abduction

An investigation into the reported abduction of two sisters, aged 15 and 16, in Novi Pazar has taken an unexpected turn. Following a report from their mother that a man had forcibly taken the girls in a vehicle toward Raška, police located and arrested two suspects in Mladenovac.

However, during questioning conducted in the presence of social work representatives, the 16-year-old girl denied being forcibly taken or abused. She stated that she is in an emotional relationship with the 19-year-old suspect and intends to marry him. Consequently, the prosecutor has reclassified the case from unlawful deprivation of liberty to an extra-marital union with a minor.
