BIA, MUP on high alert

MUP and BIA have raised the security level for the country’s most senior officials to the highest level, writes daily Blic. The daily states that security has been heightened for President Boris Tadic, the President for the National Council for Cooperation with the Hague Rasim Ljajic, Interior Minister Ivica Dacic, and War Crimes Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic. BIA, MUP on high alert “They’ve been receiving letters at their home addresses in the forms of obituaries, and these are just some of the threats that have come in the wake of Hague fugitive Radovan Karadzic’s arrest,“ Blic states. The messages Vukcevic has received include “You’re finished“, “There’s a bomb under your car“, while the most serious threats have been reserved for Ljajic who, they say, will “end up like your beloved Djindjic. We’ll start by putting a bullet through your kneecaps,“ claims Blic. It is added that the first phone call, where a gusla could be heard followed by a man’s voice stating that one of his relatives had been assaulted, came immediately after the press conference the day after Karadzic’s arrest. Blic states that MUP are looking into the letters and threatening phone calls, as well as into unofficial information that a man who, during a phone call to Ljajic’s office after the press conference purporting to be “Police Chief Milovanovic from Sjenica“ actually phoned from Banija in Croatia. The president’s cabinet has not wished to make any comment about the alleged threats, stating that “these things simply aren’t for comment,“ writesthe daily.
