Vucic again defends Milan Radoicic, who is known as the leader of criminal groups in the north of Kosovo

Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic has once again come out in defence of Serbian list vice president Milan Radoicic, who along with others from the party has attended the meeting of representatives of Serbs from Kosovo in Raska.

According to Vucic, Radoicic, who is on the wanted list of the security authorities in Kosovo, is being persecuted because, as he described, he is fighting with his people.

“They are trying to drive out our most capable and bravest sons so that they will never meet resistance and do what they want. What do you think, if Milan [Radoicic] is the worst in the world, deserves to be published on thousands of front pages [of the media] both in our country and around the world? That is not the reason, but they are afraid that because he is fighting with his people,” Vucic said.

After these words of Vucic, applause for Radoicic followed in the hall.

Radoicic and Zvonko Veselinovic along with arms dealer Slobodan Tesic are on the list of people to whom Great Britain has imposed sanctions.

Likewise, the administration of the United States of America added Radoicic and Veselinovic to the list. As stated in the Treasury Department’s explanation, Veselinovic is the leader of an organized criminal group and one of the most notorious corrupt figures in Kosovo, and is involved in an extensive bribery scheme that served to facilitate the trade of narcotics and weapons between Kosovo and Serbia.

Veselinovic and Radoicic are wanted in Kosovo as suspects in the murder of Serbian politician Oliver Ivanovic.
