A lawyer for Obradovic has appealed against the decision to keep him in custody and some Serbs, including activists involved in months of anti-government demonstrations, have begun protesting in front of the prison in Belgrade.

"There is absolutely no reason to impose custody. Not one," the lawyer, Ljubisav Radosavljevic, told BIRN.

"Everyone knows that, even they know it", Dacic underlined for "Politika" daily.

Documents obtained by BIRN show that the management of the Serbian arms manufacturer Krusik hid key information about deals it agreed with GIM - a private arms intermediary connected to Branko Stefanovic, father of Serbia's Interior Minister, Nebojsa Stefanovic - and with Jugoimport SDPR, a Serbian state-owned intermediary.

I am convinced that foreign secret service try to monitor electronic communications of the people in Serbia they are interested in, primarily President Aleksandar Vucic, said Nebojsa Stefanovic, Serbian Interior Minister for "Vecernje novosti".

The protests started on December 8, 2018. They were triggered by an incident a few weeks earlier on November 23, when an opposition politician, Borko Stefanovic, was attacked and beaten in the southern town of Krusevac.

Accoding to the Serbian government, Steganovic, speaking in Istanbul on Wednesday, said this was happening as the country was "trying to preserve the security of its citizens, while respecting the basic human rights of migrants."

He argued that Russia supports Serbia, but not the current authorities.

Jeremic told the srbin.info website that Russian President Vladimir Putin "does not trust Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic because of his relations with the West."

23The marchers called for the resignation of Serbia's interior minister Nebojsa Stefanovic and a new rally was scheduled for Jan. 5.

One of the organizers actor Branislav Trifunovic said that the minister should step down for not doing his job, and belittling the people.

The organizers announced that between 35,000 and 40,000 people took part, but Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic later cited police estimates that said 5,000 protesters attended the rally.

The protest opened with a moment of silence to honor the victims of a collision between a bus and a train in southern Serbia on Friday.

This took place at their base in Batajnica, near Belgrade, as the unit is marking the 40th anniversary of its establishment.

SAJ officers demonstrated a clash with terrorists who occupied a building and a bus. The exercise was attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic, and other officials.
