After the website Teleprompter published what appears to be a transcribed conversation of Bojan Pajtic, leader of the opposition Democratic Party, on Friday he urged parliament to investigate who was behind the wiretapping.

Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic and Aleksandar Djordjevic, head of the Serbian Security Agency, BIA, denied on Wednesday any involvement in unlawful wiretapping, following claims by opposition leader Bojan Pajtic that his telephone calls had been intercepted.

Stefanovic said he was ready to resign if there is evidence that police had wiretapped the opposition leader.

"In anticipation of the visit of Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic to the United States, we write to you with concern about reports of the deteriorating situation in Serbia," the five American Congress members wrote to Vice-President Biden in the letter which was made public by Serbian media portal Teleprompter on Monday.
