The apartment where Belgrade Centre for Security Policy Executive Director Predrag Petrovic lives with his wife and child was broken into on May 22, 2018. Things were stolen only from his study room.
The entrance door was violently broken, and things of greater value, such as laptops or jewelry, were not taken out of the apartment. Petrovic was out of the city and the apartment was empty at the time of the break-in. The neighbors heard the noise and called the police who came to the scene and took the footage from security cameras from nearby buildings.
BCSP will insist that the prosecution and the police are seriously working on this case, as it may be related to the research that Petrovic works on. Since 2006, he has been working to increase accountability of security institutions, security services reforms, legal regulation of private security and the prevention of extremism.
This was not the first attack on the BCSP executive director. In August 2016, the pre-stated “” message was written on the BCSP Executive Director's car. Although the case was immediately reported to the police, the perpetrators remain unknown.
