Sasa Vukovic Boske, a suspect in a killing at a Senjak restaurant, was questioned again by Belgrade’s High Public Prosecutor’s Office. The session was held at his own request and took place on June 16. Prosecutors said the questioning would continue the following day. The content of his statement is not yet known.
The development returns to the spotlight a case that has been linked to Veselin Milic, the former head of the Belgrade police. Boske has been publicly named in the proceedings, but his guilt has not been established by a final court ruling. Every allegation here should be read as a charge that still has to be proven in court.
The killing took place on May 12 at a restaurant in Senjak, in Belgrade’s Savski Venac municipality. The victim has been publicly named in the case. Two days later, on May 14, Boske and a second suspect were arrested. At their first appearance before the prosecutor, both chose to remain silent, which is their legal right.
What are the suspects charged with?
According to the High Public Prosecutor’s Office, the suspects are charged with aggravated murder as co-perpetrators. The same allegations list illegal possession of weapons and endangering public safety. Prosecutors are also examining possible money laundering, which widens the scope of the case beyond the events inside the restaurant.
Co-perpetration is a legal construction that assumes a crime was carried out through the joint actions of several people. In practice, that means prosecutors must prove the role of each suspect individually, as well as a shared decision to commit the act. That is why suspect statements, forensic findings, and physical evidence are central to how the case moves forward.
The fact that Boske asked to be questioned this time, after his earlier silence, is a procedurally relevant move. A suspect can change his defense at any point and set out his own version of events. Prosecutors then test those claims and compare them against the evidence already gathered.
Why is the case tied to Veselin Milic’s name?
The Senjak case has been linked in public from the outset to the name of the former Belgrade police chief. That connection holds attention because it raises questions about the relationship between the criminal underworld and parts of the security apparatus. Prosecutors, however, are running the case on evidence, not on media labels.
For now it is not known whether the suspect’s new statements will affect the status of other people in the investigation. The case is in the evidence-gathering phase, and no indictment has been filed. Until a final verdict, all suspects are presumed innocent.
The timeline is clear so far: the event on May 12, the arrests on May 14, and now a fresh questioning at the request of one of the suspects. The next step will be whatever the prosecutor establishes after the questioning resumes. How much do you think this new testimony will shift the course of the investigation?
