Two of the arrested foreigners are from Serbia and Montenegro and
one is from Bosnia-Herzegovina. They are believed to have demanded
from the owner of a private company in Osijek to pay an alleged debt
of EUR854,658 to a company from Belgrade.
As the owner of the Osijek firm claimed that he did not owe money to
the Belgrade company, the three allegedly intimidated and
threatened his family, which prompted him to contact the police.
