Law office Vasiljević Legal and lawyer Aleksandar Vasiljević who represents Veselin Milić for the first time, she spoke publicly about the murder case in Senjak, which caused the former mayor of Belgrade police in custody.
The announcement states that they decided to take this step three weeks after the start of the criminal proceedings against Milić.
Tepić: Who allowed Macut and Vučević to have lunch in the "27" restaurant the day after the murder?
"After three weeks from the beginning of the criminal proceedings against our client Veselin Milić, the law office Vasiljević Legal and the lawyer Nemanja Vasiljević as Milić's defense counsel decided to break the media silence that we considered appropriate for this phase of the criminal proceedings for extremely professional reasons. However, even after three weeks from the start of the criminal proceedings in question, no evidence has been presented that links Milić to the serious and untrue accusations presented in the order for the investigation and the criminal report of the UKP, and Milić is still in custody, we believe it is necessary to inform the public of the truth," reads the statement of this law office, which was reported by the daily newspaper "Danas".
This law office submitted the integral part of Milić's testimony given to the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office on June 3, 2026. in which Milić denies the criminal offense charged against him, but also states that he was not arrested, but that he himself "naively" responded to the call of the police and the prosecutor's office.
What does VJT say about the testimony of the witnesses that the police beat them upon arresting them?
We transmit the integral part of the statement in the village.
"I should note that immediately on the morning of May 13, I informed the UKP PU for the city of Belgrade about all the findings, about which I also made an official note, all with the aim of establishing the real facts and to get to the truth. In the UKP, I demanded a polygraph test of both myself and the police officers who were given to me for official security. With the best of intentions, I told the police officers everything I found out, I told the truth, but apparently they were not interested in the truth. The police officers who participate in this persecution and framing of me very maliciously and perfidiously misled the prosecution and the state, as well as the MUP and the public, where I am presented as a monster, without a single proof. They can do that to any of you, any citizen.
What can Veselin Milić sing about?
Those signatories of the criminal complaint did not provide you with any evidence obtained with the criminal complaint. Maliciously and manipulatively towards me, and towards you, they wrote absolute falsehoods, which you could see for yourself after the three weeks I was in custody. I very naively responded to the call and came with the truth both to my colleagues and to you. In the proposal for the detention of me and my colleagues, the VJT copied only the data from the criminal report without looking at any evidence that the acting police officers in the UKP presented to my defense attorney at the time. Then they stated that there were, as they themselves said, prostitutes in the restaurant, and I did not know who they were, which speaks of the attitude of those police officers towards the witnesses, and towards me. They told us that they took cameras from my building, cameras around the restaurant, around the deceased building. Nešović, on the route of movement of me and other persons. They told us that they found a phone in a container, that the base stations were finished and the conversation was completely informal, where I came to share my knowledge in a completely naive and honest attitude. I assume that the evidence that had been obtained with the criminal complaint was not submitted to the Prosecutor's Office. The information from the proposal for detention was released to the media, where for days broadcasts were made about me as a monster, deprived of any possibility of defense. Even though I and my colleagues presented the knowledge we had and answered all the questions in the hope that they would be established as soon as possible and real facts would come out that indicate the real factual situation. It was established, as far as I know, that we left the restaurant about 35 minutes before the murder, that I came home, which my wife and older daughter can confirm, as well as the cameras from the building and the apartment. I am still in custody, naively believing that the evidence will mean something," Milić wrote in his statement before the prosecution, the second time since he was arrested.
