After 23 years, the police successfully solved the murder of Jagodina journalist Milan Pantic and journalists’ associations expect an indictment to be issued, head of the Association of Serbia’s Journalists (UNS) Zivojin Rakocevic said Monday.
Pantic was killed on June 11, 2001, with blows to the back of the head, outside his building in the Serbian city of Jagodina as he was returning home from the store. He had popped out in his slippers to buy bread.
The journalist had previously reported on multiple cases of corruption and abuse of office in the Morava valley area, providing particularly in-depth coverage of the privatization of Paracin’s cement plant and Jagodina brewery.
“The police have solved the case and that is completely clear, which is why we expect and insist that charges be filed,” Rakocevic told the Vecernje Novosti daily, for which Pantic had worked.
