BELGRADE, Aug 21 (Hina) - The Serbian government on Thursday
unanimously adopted and decided to make public a report by a special
commission in charge of establishing omissions of the security
service of Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjic, who was assassinated in
March this year. #L#
The government also instructed the Interior Ministry and the
Security-Information Agency (BIA) to immediately take steps with
regard to persons (whose names were not revealed) found to have made
omissions in providing for Djindjic's security, said Zarko Korac, a
vice-premier and chairman of the commission.
The commission has established that the security system did not
function in line with normative solutions, while Djindjic's
immediate security never received a report on estimated threat to
the premier because such a report had never been drafted, reads the
54-page report.
The report consists of five sections and an additional section on
draft measures proposed by the commission. Some of these measures
have been radicalised by the Serbian government, said Korac.
"All statements and sessions have been documented and recorded," he
said, adding that 32 people had been interviewed so far, mostly from
the Interior Ministry and BIA, and that the commission had received
all requested documents.
The Supreme Court and the state prosecutor have been instructed to
apply laws and other regulations with regard to the work of courts
and prosecutor's offices in cases connected to mob clans from Zemun
and Surcin.
Immediately after the end of the government session and the
announcement of the commission's results, the Interior Ministry
stated that it had proposed that the government relieve of duty the
Ministry's secretary Slobodan Miletic for not taking timely action
in harmonising by-laws regarding the premier's security, as well as
that it had replaced Danilo Koprivica, chief of security of the
government's building, in front of which Djindjic was murdered, and
Zemun police chief Milan Milojkovic for not taking adequate
measures against the Zemun clan.
