Belgrade daily Politika writes that the investigation into the background of the Djindjic assassination could be jeopardized. The newspaper claims that this could be caused "by someone" from the Security Information Agency (BIA). "Someone from BIA wants gangster silent" According to the daily, "unknown person from BIA" could be working to make sure that recently arrested Zemun Clan member Milos Simovic does not talk about the background of the Djindjic assassination, for which Simovic was convicted of participating in. A source close to the interior and justice ministries told the daily that this person visited Simovic in prison on Sunday. “This person came to see Simovic incognito. The reason behind the visit was not to offer Simovic the status of a protected witness for his further testimony, which Simovic is desperately fighting to receive,” the source stated. The visit was also conducted outside of regular prison procedures, claims Politika. “Such a visit represents a form of pressure on him and can be considered as a form of intimidation, or threat of blackmailing, in relation to what information he might be able to give to police,” the source said, without clarifying what kind of talks were held with Simovic or who might be trying to intimidate him. Simovic was arrested as he was crossing from Croatia into Serbia earlier this month, after spending seven years on the run. Before he headed for Serbia, he allegedly shot and wounded fellow Zemun Clan fugitive Sretko Kalinic. Both were sentenced in absentia to a total of 70 years each, in trials conducted in Serbia for their role in the Djindjic murder, and 19 other murders, kidnappings and acts of terrorism. On Tuesday, the media reported that from his Hague cell, SRS leader Vojislav Seslj had ordered the killing of SNS leader Tomislav Nikolic. Unofficially, this information came from Simovic.
