SNS leader Tomislav Nikolic said that he would not dismiss the possibility that SRS leader Vojislav Seselj ordered his assassination, daily Politika writes. The leader of the opposition party said that he was “fairly shaken” by the information that Zemun Clan member Milos Simovic told investigators that he was the target of a planned assassination. SNS leader on assassination claims Asked by the daily whether there could be truth to the rumor that Seselj ordered the killing, Nikolic said that “it isn't easy to find out whether someone is capable of doing such a thing". “I would to find out that it is not true. But that is difficult, because I know the ties between these people…I also know that none of them have a reason to lie to me, especially when they are being investigated by police. If Simovic really revealed this in the investigation, he had no reason to make it up,” Nikolic said. “This time it feels like it is someone in the family. Regardless of everything I have experienced, I have never said a bad word about my former president,” Nikolic said. Nikolic was Seselj’s deputy in the Serb Radical Party (SRS) before defecting and setting up his own Serb Progressive Party (SNS). The organized crime prosecution has begun an investigation into the rumors that Seselj, who is on trial for war crimes before the Hague Tribunal, ordered the assassination of Nikolic from The Hague. Nikolic said that he has learned that Seselj ordered his assassination by way of fugitive criminal Luka Bojovic, adding that the information came from recently arrested Zemun Clan member Milos Simovic. SRS, in turn, announced they would file criminal charges against daily Blic for reporting the allegations. Nikolic currently has 24-hour security with him because of the perceived treats against his life.
