The investigation against former Serbian vice consul in New York Igor Milosevic was wrapped up today and forwarded to the prosecution. This was confirmed for Tanjug news agency by Secretary of the Second Municipal Court in Belgrade Nada Djordjevic. Ex-NY vice-consul probe ends The prosecution will now decide if it will press charges against Milosevic, request further investigations or refrain from taking any legal action. Milosevic is suspected of misusing his position in the case of Miladin Kovacevic, a Serbian studying in the United States, to whom he issues a passport even though the original document was confiscated by the U.S. government after Kovacevic was arrested on assault charges. With the new passport, Kovacevic was able to jump bail flee the U.S. for Serbia. Milosevic claims that the Serbian general consulat in New York, Slobodan Nenadovic, gave him the go-ahead to issue the new passport – something Nenadovic denies. Disciplinary action was taken against Milosevic in June by the Serbian Foreign Affairs Ministry and he was relieved of his position, while Nenadovic was fired without a disciplinary process. 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. The American government has recently given the Serbian MFA documentation in the Kovacevic case. Kovacevic is accused of brutally assaulting a fellow student at Binghamton University in New York State. 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.
