In front of the Church of San Marcos in Belgrade, a large number of people paid tribute to the leader of the Civic Initiative “Freedom, Democracy and Justice”, Oliver Ivanović, who was assassinated on January 16, 2018 in North Kosovska Mitrovica, and the murderers have not been found today.
According to the media, the leaders of the United Opposition of Serbia were in front of the church, which also invited a meeting, symbolically called “1,000 candles for 1,000 days of silence.”
In Kosovska Mitrovica, several dozen citizens, family and friends, lit candles for Oliver Ivanović, on Sutjeska Street, where Ivanović was killed with multiple shots in the back, Kossev reported.
The president of the European Movement of Kosovo Serbs, Rada Trajković, told Kossev that citizens did not respond in large numbers out of fear and explained why she responded to the invitation.
“To be with these Serbs in northern Mitrovica and these people who came, and see how a peaceful silence from Mitrovica is the result, not of their non-participation in Oliver’s pain, but of the fear of Vučić and the Belgrade regime of appear in greater numbers, in which they appeared when Oliver was sadly sent from this city, ”Trajković said.
Oliver’s friend Dejan Nedeljković said that although there were not 1,000 people, 1,000 candles were lit, showing that they were with his family.
“Oliver will live as long as we live here, we will remember his work because, thanks to him, we are here in the north of Kosovo tonight,” Nedeljković said, emphasizing “if Oliver had not been there when the riots in Mitrovica occurred, in this area.”
The initiator of this meeting, Marko Jakšić, wrote on his Facebook profile “1000 candles due to 1000 days of silence on the tortuous liquidation of Oliver in Kosovska Mitrovica at the scene of the accident. No, we were not 1,000 because there are not so many people with attitude in this city of lost souls and a sea of fear. “
Oliver Ivanovic’s brother Miroslav told H1 today that he doubts the sincere desire to solve the murder and that although the whole story is complex, there is obviously a special interest in not clarifying it.
“In a thousand days, regardless of the complexity of that work, I am firmly convinced that all this could have been done much more quickly and efficiently, and that the executors and the ordering companies, as well as all those who were in any of what They helped in the execution of that act, ”said Ivanović, who is a judge by the way.
The indictment in the Ivanovic case was filed by the Special Prosecutor’s Office in Pristina in December 2019 and contained the names of those accused of criminal acts related to the organization and assistance in the commission of the murder.
Meanwhile, the indictment was returned for a new trial, based on the decision of the Court of Appeals, which accepted the defense appeals of the defendants.
Despite the parallel Belgrade and Pristina investigations and the prosecution, the perpetrator of Oliver Ivanovic’s murder is still unknown.
