Higher public prosecution in Belgrade announced to RTS that their announcement of May 16, 2026 is related to the case murders in the restaurant "27" in Senjak was based on the data and facts available to the prosecution at that time, taking into account the circumstances of the case and the filed criminal complaint.
As they state, during the investigation, based on the collected material evidence and witness statements, it turned out that the criminal complaint was incorrect in certain parts when it comes to the description of certain actions and the role of certain persons.
The Prosecution points out that statements made by citizens to the police during the pre-investigation procedure are not considered evidence in the sense of the Code of Criminal Procedure, but that only statements made before the Public Prosecutor's Office in the capacity of witnesses or suspects are considered evidence.
That is why, as they state, at the time of publishing the statement, the prosecution did not have evidence that would confirm whether Veselin Milić called the injured party Aleksandar Nešović Baja from his phone or from another number, nor whether he suggested that he come to the restaurant without security.

Most of the witnesses did not confirm that Milić invited Baja to come to the bar
According to the prosecution, most of the witnesses questioned during the investigation, including the victim's wife, as well as people who were with Milić during his stay in the restaurant, did not confirm that he invited the victim to come to the bar without security.
The Prosecution also states that during the investigation it was undisputedly established that Milić was not present in the restaurant at the time of committing the criminal act of aggravated murder, nor that he was removing traces of the criminal act, which is why the criminal complaint against him was dismissed in that part, i.e. in the part related to the criminal act of assisting the perpetrator after the crime was committed.

The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office adds that the factual situation is still being determined, as well as that the collection of material evidence and the implementation of the ordered expert examinations are continuing, some of which have not yet been completed or submitted to the prosecutor's office.
After the analysis of all the collected evidence, the final factual situation, description of the actions and legal qualification of the act for each of the suspects will be determined, after which the prosecution will make an appropriate decision.
