The Serbian Ministry of the Interior (MUP) today denied the accusations of the “Tijana Jurić” Foundation about the number of missing persons in the country and assessed that its register of missing persons is not credible and that it contains many inaccurate data.
The head of the UKP General Crime Suppression Department, Milan Davidović, stated in a press release that during the inspection it was established that the disappearance of 14 people was never reported to the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Serbia.
He claimed that the “Missing Serbia” website lists a person who was detained in extradition, then a person who went to Italy 20 years ago and another person who went to Germany 32 years ago, where he lives and works.
Davidovic adds that there are nine missing persons at the same site, whose searches have been suspended because their bodies have been found or declared dead, as well as 11 missing persons, who have since been found and suspended. publications.
He noted that the Ministry of the Interior takes care of all citizens of the Republic of Serbia, whose safety is an absolute priority, and that everything seems to make “all children and all adults feel safe and secure, both at home and in the street”.
– It is important to distinguish between leaving home and the crime of kidnapping. Kidnappings are extremely rare in our country and the police solve them efficiently, quickly and without delay, it is added in the advertisement.
Davidović stated that “unfortunately, the public often speaks of a large number of missing adult citizens, which in no way corresponds to the truth”, which “creates a false sense of insecurity and misleads the citizens.”
– When it comes to disappearances of adults, it is mainly people who left their homes of their own free will and do not want to be publicly exposed in any way. Among them are people with dementia, the mentally ill, people who want to leave their partners or enter into marital and extramarital unions. Including such people in some kind of public record is an equal violation of their right to leave their home, as they have the absolute right to do so and the police cannot prevent them from doing so, Davidović said.
