At a news briefing, called 'Serbia After The State of Emergency',
Mihajlovic said that 28 murders had been solved during a police
action dubbed 'Sabre', launched after the March 12 assassination of
Premier Zoran Djindjic. According to Mihajlovic, upon the
completion of this clamp-down on organised crime, Serbia will be a
country without organised criminal gangs and unsolved felonies
from the past.
According to statements which some other senior officials have
given recently, among the detained war criminals there are a few
perpetrators of mass killings at Ovcara near the eastern Croatian
city of Vukovar in November 1991, when Serb rebels, supported by the
then Yugoslav army, overran that part of Croatia. The police have
not disclosed the names of those detainees.
