Milosevic was arrested on September 2, and was held in custody for more than a month. Other than Nenadovic, Kovacevic and his parents and other employees of the consulate in New York were questioned as part of Milosevic’s investigation.

He was arrested after the fight in which he put fellow student Bryan Steinhauer in a coma, but was release once bail of USD 100,000 was posted for him. The Serbian prosecution is analyzing the case to see whether it will press charges against him, since it is against Serbian law to extradite Serbian nationals to other countries. Kovacevic has an international warrant out for his arrest since fleeing America illegally.
