President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić he assessed that a terrorist act took place in Belgrade today.
In his extraordinary address, he stated that the final wording will be given by the prosecution. He spoke about the "serious blockade sickness", the "sowing of hatred" by the blockaders, the consequence of which was the attack in front of the Serbian Parliament.
Shooting and fire in Ćaciland: One person wounded, attacker arrested
"Today in front of the Assembly of Serbia, Vladan Anđelković (70) with a residence on Banovo Brdo, carried out, that is my political assessment, a terrible terrorist attack on other persons and property, and the final legal wording of the act will be given by the prosecution. If I am right, it will be done by the TOK, if I am not, then the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office. What is important is that the person has had a Crvena Zastava M99 pistol since 1993, one of which he discharged during 2018. "He has been receiving a pension since November 2009," said Vučić.
Dragan J. Vučićević: "Classic terrorist attack"
He added that the injured party lives on Banovo brdo.
"Now you will see the videos, and she will talk about the injured person and his sequence. You will see the moment of the shooting, we have lowered the tone because it is not good for younger people. Milan immediately fell. It is about a person who wanted to enter the tent and see what the attacker was doing, who, as you will see in the video, brought a bucket of gasoline, which he bought. It was not from a gas bottle, but he was injured by a direct shot from a pistol. Milan Bogdanović is injured on the operating table. If the operation it was successful, the bullet is still in the body and there are always risks of internal bleeding," said Vučić.
Then video footage from the scene of the incident in the center of Belgrade was released.
Footage of the incident was broadcast as well as footage of Anđelković who allegedly admits that he shot in Ćaciland because "the tents annoy him" and because it is the center of the city where he was born, he also said that he did it because he wanted to get the police to kill him.
"The pistol of the same brand, but with a different serial number, was discharged during 2018, when we went on the first campaign to take weapons and tools from people. In 2018, a Melior brand pistol was registered on them. It is an old trophy weapon. The user has been retired since November 2009. Prior to that, he was employed at the Olja Market business and at the independent restaurant 'Little Italy' in Belgrade," said Vučić.
As he said, Anđelković was briefly engaged in 2009 in the commercial company "Beograd Trade" from Belgrade.
Vučić stated that it was only a matter of time when something like this would happen in any city.
"This could have happened in Uzice, Valjevo, Novi Sad, and most of all in Ćaciland, quite expectedly," said Vučić.
He added that Ćaciland was the only point of resistance to violence and that it bothered many people.
In response to a journalist's question about whether Ćaciland will be displaced, Vučić replied that the people there are "peaceful" and that "no one was attacked."
