A group of NGOs submitted to the Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime a criminal charge of terrorism against an unknown person due to the suspicion that a dangerous weapon was used at the protest in Belgrade on March 15.

Several proceedings were launched in parallel to determine what it was March 15 at 19:11 it happened in Ulica Kralja Milana.

Special rapporteurs of the United Nations have launched a procedure to establish what means was used at the protest, several non-governmental organizations announced, as well as that they are expecting a decision from the European Court of Human Rights on the matter.

The representative of the organization Jukom, Katarina Golubović, stated that, taking into account all the testimonies of the citizens who were at the protest that day, the NGO today submitted a criminal complaint to the Public Prosecutor's Office for organized crime because they believe that the crime of terrorism was committed.

She assessed that there was an attack on the life, body and freedom of a large number of citizens on March 15, stating that the same evening, citizens called non-governmental organizations to testify about the incident.

Who initiated the investigation?

The first primary prosecutor's office in Belgrade first launched an investigation into whether those who claimed that they "were exposed to the impact of a sound cannon" committed the crime of causing panic and disorder, writes the BBC in Serbian. The same prosecutor's office then opened an investigation to determine what exactly happened in the center of Belgrade.

Aleksandar Vučić said that Russian operatives from the FSB, who have allegedly already arrived in Serbia, will also investigate the events, while the American FBI in response to "Vreme" neither confirmed nor denied that he was involved in the investigation of the ruckus and stampede in Kralja Milan.

"According to the policy of the Department of Justice, the FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of an investigation," they said in the FBI's response to Vremena.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić then said, after writing "Vremen", that he was not sure whether FBI representatives would come to Serbia.
