Serbian journalist Ivan Milićević has raised doubts over the handling of the alleged explosives case near Kanjiža, suggesting that authorities may be gradually downplaying the issue.
Speaking on N1 television, Milićević expressed skepticism that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić would address the matter following the elections in Hungary. He argued that the case appears to be “slowly being pushed aside” and fading from public focus.
Milićević also criticized the decision of the parliamentary oversight committee not to discuss the incident, describing it as a political choice to avoid further scrutiny. He questioned why an alleged serious security threat—if credible—was not examined in detail by relevant institutions.
“If this were unquestionably true, it would constitute a terrorist act. How is it possible that the committee responsible for overseeing security services refuses to discuss it?” he asked.
The journalist further pointed to inconsistencies in the narrative, noting that both domestic and international reactions suggested a lack of widespread belief in the official account. He also raised concerns about the involvement of military structures in the case, questioning why civilian security agencies were not solely responsible.
Milićević suggested that the incident may have been politically motivated or staged, adding that public trust could be undermined if authorities fail to provide clear answers. He also questioned the whereabouts of the alleged suspect mentioned by officials, asking why no concrete updates have been provided.
The case, which involves reports of explosives found near a gas pipeline in northern Serbia, has drawn regional attention, particularly in the context of political developments in neighboring Hungary.
