Marko Jablanović was the target of the attempted murder that was reported to have happened after midnight in Soqanica. Details for this have been provided by the Deputy Minister for Communities and Returns, Radoica Radomirovic, who has made the Serbian List and Milan Radoicic responsible for the attempt. Milan Radoicic is also sanctioned by US and Great Britain.
Through a status on Facebook, Radomirović also made the Serbian candidate for Leposavic’s mayor, Aleksandar Jablanović, responsible, who later withdrew from the race, as it was reported at the time “as a result of the pressure that is being put on the Kosovo Serbs by Official Belgrade”.
According to him, the murder did not come as the attacker’s automatic weapon “Scorpion” jammed.
“Due to the information about the attempted murder of Marko Jablanovic, a member of the party ‘Za Sloboda Pravdu i Opstanak’, I have to inform you about the details.
On 05.05 at 00:15 in Soçanica, in front of the cafe “Klub B”, there was an attempt to kill our friend and collaborator Marko Jablanovic. The tragic event did not happen as the “Scorpion” type of attacker’s automatic weapon failed. There is no doubt that the Belgrade regime, as well as the local cowboys, Slavko Simic, Zoran Todic are behind the assassination, he wrote.
He stated that the threats had come in the last meeting with Jablanovic, when, as he said, they were warned that they were in danger of being killed under the justification that they were working “against the interests of the Serbian regime”.
I also want to acquaint you with the events that took place before the elections for Leposavić mayor in April 2023. It is known that Marko and I supported Aleksandar Jabllanović to bring about the necessary changes in Leposavić.
After Aleksandar Jabllanović agreed in Belgrade with Aleksandar Vulin, Aleksandar Vučić and BIA member Dimić, that for some money and privileges he would withdraw as Leposavic’s candidate for mayor, Marko and I continued to fight for our people, to encourage them to regain the necessary dignity and take life in their hands.
In the last meeting with Aleksandar Jablanovic, we were warned that we are in danger of being killed because we are working against the interests of the regime. We call this time for Aleksandar Jablanović to come out publicly and say with whom he had such a conversation. Also, from that moment, Alexander, who at that moment sold all our supporters for a pittance and bought from him a jeep and a “Quad” vehicle, for me is a direct participant in the attempt to kill Marko Jabllanovići, he wrote among other things.
Also, Marko and I were offered by Aleksandar Jabllanovic to get premises, apartments and money and when we didn’t, Aleksandar warned us that they could kill us. Also, I have to inform the opinion that from that moment Aleksandar Jablanović does not even talk to Marko’s minor children, who are not guilty of anything. We invite all citizens to stand up to the local cowboys and not be afraid of threats and blackmail, because we must keep in mind that FREEDOM CAN BE TAKEN WITH COURAGE, NOT WITH COWARDNESS, he concludes, adding that they will not back down despite the life threats they are constantly receiving.
