Aleksandar Ivanović, a member of the Presidency of Serbia’s People’s Movement (NPS), has called for the opening of Serbian intelligence agency BIA’s files, particularly those related to the murder of his uncle, Oliver Ivanović. He also called for the agency to be dismantled.
Speaking to Newsmax Balkans, Ivanović said that, as a member of the parliamentary committee overseeing security services, he had repeatedly asked BIA Director Aleksandar Orlić whether an official record existed of Oliver Ivanović’s visit to the agency several months before his assassination.
However, he said he had never received an answer.
“I wanted to know whether a record had been made, whom he complained about and what the state had done to protect him,” Ivanović said.
Addressing the situation in Kosovo, he proposed that Serbia’s future government establish direct communication with Serbs living there rather than relying exclusively on representatives of the Serbian List.
He said such consultations should focus on identifying the community’s needs in key areas, including security, healthcare, education and the protection of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
Ivanović also argued that the incoming government should be given a realistic timeframe to address Kosovo-related issues, stressing that the consequences of 14 years of previous policies could not be reversed within its first 100 days.
He further called for an investigation into who participated in negotiations and agreements concerning Kosovo since the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) came to power in 2012, as well as what role the party played in those arrangements.
