Radoicic

BELGRADE - Milan Radoicic appeared in a hearing before the Higher Public Prosecutor's office in Belgrade on Tuesday on suspicion of committing the criminal offence of association for the purpose of committing criminal offences, the criminal offence of illicit production, possession, carrying and distribution of firearms and explosives and serious criminal offences against general safety.

Powerful Belgrade-backed businessman and politician, Milan Radoicic, must be arrested if he is in Kosovo as Serbian media have reported, Rasim Maloku from the Ferizaj/Urosevac Basic Prosecution told BIRN on Wednesday.

"The arrest warrant [for Radoicic] related to the 'Brezovica'case is active," Maloku said.

The Court of Appeals in Pristina on Tuesday confirmed the third version of the indictment accusing six people of being part of an alleged organised criminal group that was responsible for the killing of Kosovo Serb political party leader Oliver Ivanovic in January 2018, clearing the way for the start of the trial.

An amended version of Oliver Ivanovic murder case indictment, which has been seen by BIRN, accuses his political party's administrator, Silvana Arsovic, of being part of an organised criminal group that was behind the killing.
