New details of the case Serbian is talking about! Strahinja Stojanović (30) was blown up on September 13 with one and a half kilograms of military explosives, and Milivoje L. (50), for whom an arrest warrant was issued on suspicion of killing Strahinja Stojanović in New Belgrade, was mentioned ago more than a decade as a partner of a criminal. groups close to Luka Bojović.

The national media report that 300,000 euros were paid for this settlement, and that “prices range” from 50,000 euros for the lower members of the clans, up to hundreds of thousands or even a million for the “great beasts.”

– The price of the kill is determined by the target, and clans can pay fabulous sums. It should also be borne in mind that the price of the murder paid has skyrocketed because many of them have been arrested. Serious players ask from 50,000 euros. Murder with firearms is cheaper because it doesn’t require much knowledge, while killers using explosives come at a price because they are more professional. Unfortunately, there are too many explosives and weapons in our area, and there are people who are ready and can use them. – says former State Security agent Božo Spasić.

HAS THE SUSPECT BEEN CLOSE TO THE SUBWAY OF SERBIA AND BIH FOR A DECADE?

Gradiška’s caterer, which has documents from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia, has been considered a man close to the top of the Bosnian and Serbian underground for years. 13 years ago, his name was mentioned in the investigation, and later in the indictment against the criminal group of Zeljko Radovanovic, called Kreco, from Bijeljina, who was convicted in the Special Court of smuggling 48 kilograms of heroin and four kilograms of cocaine . A member of this criminal group was also Veljko Banović, alias Votka, a friend from his youth and partner of Luka Bojović.

Have you ever heard of settlement prices before?

He was not charged at the time of belonging to this criminal group, but the investigation established that he rented an apartment in the Vracar municipality in Belgrade, near the Temple of Saint Sava, where Radovanovic and Predrag Njegovan hid drugs that they later sold.

Whether that cooperation continued in subsequent years was the subject of an investigation, especially considering that Strahinja Stojanovic, whose Milivoje L airlift is now a suspect, was linked to the murders of people close to Luka Bojovic, his lawyer Dragoslav. Mišo Ognjanović at the end of July 2018 in Belgrade, but also Dragoslav Miloradović’s godfather two months earlier, also in Belgrade. Investigators did not have sufficient evidence to prosecute Stojanovic for the two crimes, but the question is what knowledge those close to Luka Bojovic knew about his role in the executions of Ognjanovic and Miloradovic.

Milivoje L. is being wanted, because at the moment only he can confirm or refute the suspicions of the operatives that people close to Luka Bojović are behind Stojanović’s liquidation.

Information from the investigation indicates that he fled Serbia immediately after the September 13 crime in New Belgrade, when an explosive device placed under Stojanovic’s jeep was activated, when he suffered fatal injuries in the explosion, and his partner, the Colombian Sonja Suárez Gómez, suffered minor injuries. Meanwhile, some details of the past emerged in the Republika Srpska, where it was related to certain settlements, but enough material evidence was never gathered to sit on the dock. He was arrested for planting a bomb in a house in Banja Luka, but also after beating Milan Vujicic alias Vujko, a local criminal who was killed in October 2015, in the middle of the day in March 2014 in a cafe on the bank of the Sava.

The police questioned him about the murder, but the crime was never officially suspected or the murder solved. He was also mentioned in the investigation into the unsolved murder of Senad Kobilić in July 2018 in the village of Liskovac near Gradiška, as well as in numerous other criminal acts. He owns several catering services in Gradiška, the most famous of which is the “Kayak Club” café-bar on the bank of the Sava river, as well as the “Archangel” raft. His name appeared in public in December 2019 after a video was posted showing him shooting into the air with two guns as he was celebrating the birth of his grandson. After the video was released, the police launched an investigation, but could not find him, so they issued an arrest warrant. He subsequently reported to the police and was soon released.

The source also reveals that after the police came to the information that he is the main suspect in the murder in Belgrade, his house and catering facilities are under surveillance.

One of the residents of Gradiška said that the suspect moved from Croatia to his city during the war and that is why he has his passport.

– He had a couple of conflicts, but no one considered him so dangerous. We were all surprised to learn that the killer was from Gradiška. Heard he had real estate in Serbia and Croatia, he says.

Murder in New Belgrade

Stojanovic was killed on September 13 in the terrible explosion of a bomb planted under his BMW X5 jeep on Omladinskih Brigade Street in New Belgrade. His girlfriend from Colombia, Sonja Suárez Gómez (45), was also in that jeep, and was only slightly injured.

Stojanović has been the target of assassins before, and in 2019 he miraculously survived a bomb blast planted under his jeep in the Galenika settlement. His then girlfriend from Spain, the former Miss Olac Bilbao González (22), was seriously injured at the time. Despite that, Strahinja, by all accounts, was not in fear for her life. She was not wearing bulletproof vests, her BMW X5 jeep was unarmored, and her girlfriend from Colombia used to post where they were going and traveling on social media, making it easy to follow them.

Strahinja was connected in the media with the brothers Branislav and Slobodan Sharanovic of Montenegro, who were liquidated in a brutal mafia war between Montenegrin clans.

He also appeared as a witness at the trial in the murder case of Nikola Bojovic, Luka Bojovic’s brother, who had been at war with the Saranovics for years. In addition, Strahinja’s name was submitted in connection with the liquidation of well-known Belgrade lawyer Dragoslav Mišo Ognjanović, defense lawyer for Luka Bojović and Filip Korać, but he was never held liable in court.

He was buried on September 16 in the New Bežanija Cemetery.
