BELGRADE, Aug 12 (Hina) - Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjuc has said that the murder of a former official of the Serbian state security, Momir Gavrilovic, has so far caused "the most serious crisis" inside the ruling coalition 'DOS'.
Djindjic was quoted by the Serbian television on Saturday night as saying that prior to talks about Serbia's government reshuffle, this coalition must discuss the ethics and responsibility of each individual and party in the 18-party coalition. "This is a great scandal which will in the future bring the DOS in jeopardy unless the case is completely clarified," Djindjic said. Gavrilovic was assassinated in Belgrade on 3 August a few hours after he held talks in the office of Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica about the alleged connection of individuals from the incumbent authorities and organised crime.

BELGRADE, Aug 12 (Hina) - Serbian Premier Zoran Djindjuc has said
that the murder of a former official of the Serbian state security,
Momir Gavrilovic, has so far caused "the most serious crisis"
inside the ruling coalition 'DOS'.
Djindjic was quoted by the Serbian television on Saturday night as
saying that prior to talks about Serbia's government reshuffle,
this coalition must discuss the ethics and responsibility of each
individual and party in the 18-party coalition.
"This is a great scandal which will in the future bring the DOS in
jeopardy unless the case is completely clarified," Djindjic said.
Gavrilovic was assassinated in Belgrade on 3 August a few hours
after he held talks in the office of Yugoslav President Vojislav
Kostunica about the alleged connection of individuals from the
incumbent authorities and organised crime. During the meeting in
Kostunica's office, Gavrilovic allegedly handed over some
documents to corroborate his claims. The names of suspects or
persons with whom the killed Gavrilovic talked in Kostunica's
office are still unknown.
In the wake of the murder of this former official of security
services, Kostunica addressed the public last Thursday to inform
that Gavrilovic had talked with his advisors and acquainted them
with a high level of criminalisation in the country.
Serbian PM Djindjic said every piece of information should be
checked and every accusation should be proved.
Last Friday, Yugoslav Interior Minister Zoran Zivkovic, who is a
member of Djindjic's political party, posed a question why
Gavrilovic went to Yugoslav President's office with such
documentation instead of giving it to the prosecutor's office.
