B92 on Monday reported that police believed the shots came from firecrackers, while B92 employees believed the shots came from firearms.
B92 editor-in-chief Veran Matic said that even if firecrackers had been used in the incident, it was still a serious warning which spread anxiety and threatened security.
Matic said it was vital that police took the incident as seriously as possible, particularly in light of statements by the self-proclaimed Serbian duke Sinisa Vucinic, who was quoted by the Kirur tabloid as saying that Natasa Kandic, Biljana Kovacevic Vuco and Sonja Biserko were being targeted and that their lives could be threatened.
The three women are leaders of NGOs promoting human rights. Natasa Kandic heads the Humanitarian Law Fund which works on establishing the truth about war crimes committed in the area of the former Yugoslavia. Kovacevic Vuco heads an NGO which promotes the protection of human rights, while Sonja Biserko heads the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia.
During the B92 political show on Sunday Kandic advocated a position that was different from those of other participants in the show, saying that she agreed with the UN's chief negotiator for Kosovo, Martti Ahtisaari, and his statement that the burden of the Slobodan Milosevic regime could not be ignored and had to be taken into account when deciding about the status of Kosovo. Ahtisaari's statement, which referred to the collective responsibility for crimes, provoked stormy reactions on the Serbian political scene.
Kandic said in the show that governments which succeed war-time governments must assume the historical obligation of accepting responsibility for the evil deeds of their predecessors.
"Milosevic is not the only one responsible for what was done, we all bear responsibility," Kandic said.
