Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has confirmed that Milan Radojičić, the Deputy Leader of the Serb List, is currently in Serbia and will be subject to questioning by Serbian authorities.

Vučić stated that Radojičić will indeed respond to the invitation from the relevant Serbian authorities, emphasizing that both the Republic of Serbia and its competent institutions will carry out their due processes.

In an interview with Radio Television of Serbia, Vučić clarified that Milan Radojičić is located within the territory of “central Serbia” and refuted claims of injury.

This development follows accusations from Kosovo that Radojičić played a leading role in the September 24 attack, during which a Kosovo Police officer and three alleged attackers were killed.

Vučić expressed Radojičić’s commitment to his role, stating that he has never hidden or felt ashamed of his actions, even in situations not deemed in Serbia’s best interest or not beneficial to Serbia as a whole.

Vučić characterized Radojičić as considering himself a freedom fighter who remains loyal to his comrades, but he acknowledged the need for Radojičić to address certain questions.

Regarding Radojičić’s alleged involvement in the attack on Kosovo Police, Vučić responded cautiously, indicating that the assessment of video evidence would be the responsibility of competent authorities. When queried about the purpose of the armed group’s attack on the Kosovo Police, Vučić expressed uncertainty but suggested that they might have been safeguarding their homes and preparing for future confrontations.

Vučić refrained from specifying the exact number of attackers, noting divergent assessments, though Kosovo authorities had previously stated that approximately 30 individuals comprised the armed group.

When asked if Radojičić was their leader, Vučić refrained from making a conclusive statement, instead highlighting the need for a comprehensive investigation.

The Serbian president defended his view that the individuals involved in the attack should not be labeled as terrorists, emphasizing the absence of any justification for the killing of a police officer. He affirmed that state authorities would pursue appropriate measures.

Vučić revealed that more information is now available than was initially known on the day of the attack. He emphasized the importance of reviewing drone footage to understand how the police officer was killed and reiterated that it was not a premeditated murder.

Vučić firmly denied that the Serbian state was behind the attack in Banjska. He mentioned that a year ago, there were indications of people preparing for resistance, noting that representatives of Serbs in northern Kosovo opposed the removal of barricades that had been set up during previous Kosovo-Serbia crises.

Regarding the attack, Vučić mentioned that Serbs were erecting barricades rather than encircling the area. He described an incident in which a Kosovo police officer was injured by explosives used to raise barricades, leading to subsequent gunfire.

According to Vučić, the Kosovo Police then initiated an operation with the intention of “eliminating all Serbs”, resulting in the deaths of two attackers who had surrendered.

He refuted claims that one of the slain attackers was part of the security detail of the current Director of the Security and Intelligence Agency (BIA), Aleksandar Vulin.

Vučić accused the Kosovo Government and Prime Minister Albin Kurti of engaging in “terrorism” against Serbs in Kosovo and appealed to Serbs to seek peace.

Regarding comments made by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama concerning Serbia’s declaration of a day of mourning, Vučić defended the decision, characterizing it as a response to “tragic events” and the loss of lives.

Vučić called on the international community not to exert further pressure on Serbia.

The events on September 24 in northern Kosovo involved an attack on Kosovo Police by a masked and armed group while they were attempting to remove barricades on a road in the village of Banjska in Zvecan, one of the four predominantly Serbian municipalities in northern Kosovo.

The armed group sought refuge in Banjska Monastery, leading to clashes with the police throughout the day.

At present, four individuals have been arrested in connection with the Banjska events, and Kosovo authorities revealed that weapons and other equipment were seized in the village.

Kosovo holds Serbia responsible for the attack, while official Belgrade has accused Kosovo Serbs.

The United States and the European Union strongly condemned the attack and called for accountability.
