CINS reveals Milic's messages to friend before Senjak killing
The testimony of the murdered man's close friend and his exchange with Veselin Milic lay out a minute-by-minute timeline of the Senjak killing.
- The investigative outlet CINS published the testimony and messages of the close friend of the murdered Aleksandar Nesovic, who was questioned for more than two and a half hours.
- That evening Milic sent the friend a photo of an ashtray along with a message about Nesovic.
- The timeline traces the movements of those involved between 22:19 and 23:15.
- Eleven people are covered by the investigation, including the dismissed head of the Belgrade police.
The investigative centre CINS has published new details from the inquiry into the Senjak killing, among them the testimony and message exchange of the close friend of the murdered Aleksandar Nesovic. The friend, identified in the documents only by the initials N.M., was questioned by prosecutors for more than two and a half hours.
The published messages and timeline piece together the evening of 12 May, when Nesovic was killed at the restaurant 27 in the Senjak district. His body was found only on 21 May near Indjija, nine days later.
What do the messages published by CINS reveal?
At the heart of the documentation is a photo of an ashtray that Milic sent to the murdered man’s friend that evening, together with a message about Nesovic.
“What is that friend of yours, N, saying badly about me?”
According to CINS, Milic sent that message with the photo in question. The friend replied with a message trying to calm the situation.
“Don’t worry, my friend, there is no way I can defend myself against things like this”
Nesovic sent that line to his friend at 22:19, according to the exchange published by CINS. The same day, his belief that someone was deliberately stoking the dispute also appears in the messages.
“Someone is seriously cooking something up, they want to set us against each other”
How did that evening unfold?
The timeline reconstructed by CINS follows the movements of those involved over barely an hour. The sequence runs as follows:
- 22:19 Nesovic sends a message to his friend
- around 23:00 he calls the friend to go to the restaurant together
- 23:06 he leaves home
- 23:15:40 Milic returns to his own building
Prosecutors link these points in time to events at the restaurant 27, where Nesovic was last seen. The investigation by the Belgrade High Public Prosecutor’s Office covers 11 people.
Among them is the dismissed head of the Belgrade police, Veselin Milic. His name has been at the centre of the case from the start, one that has dominated the domestic political scene for weeks.
What does it mean for you that such a precise exchange and timeline reach the public through an investigative outlet rather than an official statement?
