Police Director Vladimir Rebić said today that they learned of the case of a beating of a young man in Novi Sad by workers of the emergency medical services on the same day, who had a conversation with the victim, but initially did not want to cooperate to solve the crime.

“When someone sees the recordings and thinks that it is easy to get them, they must first obtain the consent of the owner of that facility, because they are not police or city cameras, there are certain procedures,” Rebić said.
It adds that the prosecutor initially described the attack as causing serious bodily harm, and that the other two young men, who were arrested today in Novi Sad, were only later found suspected of complicity in the crime.
Rebic rejected allegations that police began working on the case only after the recordings surfaced on social media, claiming that “everyone will be held liable if found to have acted unscrupulously.”
“(The allegations) cannot influence us to solve the case, as we solved it, but we are wasting time dealing with secondary jobs … but they are honored that they want to hinder us in their work in that way,” Rebić said.
Speaking about the bomb that killed a person today in New Belgrade and the assessment of some politicians that Serbia is an unsafe country, Rebić stated that in recent years, there have been around 100 murders a year in Serbia, and that those figures were much higher before.
“In 2007, there were 173 murders,” so the differences are obvious. “When you calculate the death toll per million inhabitants, Serbia is a safe country … at the level of France and Great Britain,” Rebić said, adding that the Interior Ministry sheds light on about 95% of all deaths. annual crimes.
