A breakdown in the official investigation into the murder of Aleksandar Nešović (alias “Baja”) has uncovered that state security services possessed concrete knowledge of the assassination hours before the family filed a missing person report.
The investigative dossier, published in the 117th edition of Radar by journalist Vuk Z. Cvijić, reveals deep-rooted institutional flaws, systemic tracking errors by the Criminal Police Directorate (UKP), and a potential high-level political cover-up at the Senjak-based restaurant “27”.
The Shift in Suspects: From Top Brass to Low-Level Guards
The legal narrative pushed by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office (VJT) in Belgrade shifted dramatically on June 4, 2024. Three active-duty police officers serving as the official security detail for the controversial Belgrade Police Chief, Veselin Milić (Petko P., Savo S., and Boban M.), were completely cleared of wrongdoing.
Base station data and surveillance footage confirmed they had departed the restaurant alongside their chief prior to the murder.
In an immediate counter-move, the VJT shifted its focus onto two officers from the Witness Protection Unit (JZZ), Miloš J. and Dušan V. The pair are heavily suspected of acting as a rogue, undocumented private security detail for Saša Vuković (alias “Boske”), the primary suspect accused of pulling the trigger on Nešović.
Timeline of Interrogations vs. Official Reports (May 2024)
│
├── May 12, 11:05 PM ──► Nešović arrives at Restaurant "27"
├── May 13, 02:39 AM ──► WHOOP Smart Ring logs Nešović's final heartbeats
├── May 13, Afternoon ─► UKP detains & interrogates Officer Miloš J. (Prior to Reports)
└── May 13, Evening ───► Victim's wife files official missing person report
The Secret Interrogation Timeline
The core investigative anomaly lies in the timing of the initial police interventions:
- Miloš J. was secretly brought in for a full police interrogation on May 13, the exact day after the homicide.
- His cell phone was confiscated, and he was immediately handed an administrative suspension.
- This law enforcement action took place hours before Nešović’s wife arrived at the municipal station to report her husband missing.
This timeline indicates that the criminal intelligence apparatus was actively processing the crime scene long before the public or the victim’s immediate family formally triggered a police search.
Furthermore, Nešović’s son provided crucial technical testimony, revealing that his father wore a WHOOP biometric fitness band linked to his phone, which registered his absolute final heartbeats at exactly 2:39 AM on the night of the crime.
Shifting Eye-Witness Testimonies from the Scene
| Witness / Suspect | Stated Role at Scene | Crucial Observation Given to Prosecutors |
| Miloš J. (JZZ Officer) | Private Guard for Killer | Claimed co-conspirator Mario S. asked via WhatsApp if he “heard a gunshot” at 23:25. Checked corner for Chief Milić’s BMW to gauge safety. |
| Dušan V. (JZZ Officer) | Private Guard for Killer | Confirmed Nešović arrived in a black SUV at 23:10. Admitted to routinely deleting all phone logs and text messages. |
| B. O. (Milić Associate) | Dinner Guest at Table | Claimed Chief Milić and A. O. were heavily intoxicated. Left table via “underground catacomb exit” to avoid the unfolding chaos. |
The Prime Minister’s Unexplained Post-Crime Visit
The investigative fallout has triggered major national security questions following a closed-session meeting of the Parliamentary Security Committee. Opposition MP Miroslav Aleksić publicly confirmed that the newly appointed Prime Minister, Đuro Macut, sat down for an official lunch at Restaurant “27” less than 24 hours after the assassination.
Critical Questions Raised by the Prosecution Files:
“How did the Prime Minister end up dining at an active, uncleared crime scene right after a mob-style execution? Who authorized his security routing, and why are controlled media outlets actively trying to bury this case?”
Investigators are looking into whether the former Prime Minister and current ruling SNS party President, Miloš Vučević, accompanied Macut to the meeting. The cleanup operation was so thorough that the restaurant owner’s sister-in-law, who arrived to scrub the premises at 10:00 AM the following morning, testified she found a completely normal scene with no visible traces of blood, pointing to a swift and professional sanitization of the venue.
