The former lieutenant colonel of the Special Operations Unit (JSO) Zvezdan Jovanović was legally sentenced to a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison as the direct perpetrator of the murder of the Prime Minister of Serbia, Zoran Đinđić.
"The pipe is just sticking out a little. A column is coming. Djindjic's car stops and the guy from the security brings out crutches. I can't shoot that guy. A shooting position is just being created when Djindjic comes near the front door. He's turned strangely, kind of to the side. I don't know exactly what his position is, but it's a fraction of a second, the moment to shoot. I shoot once, I want to confirm the hit, I shoot a second time. I don't know how that guy is hurt. The first shot was injured safe. It was not my intention to hit that guy, it is possible that he got into the path of the second bullet", this is how Jovanović described the murder of Đinđić in his statement to the police ten days after his arrest in the Saber operation.
Former JSO commander Milorad Ulemek Legija, who organized the assassination of the prime minister in March 2003, was also sentenced to 40 years in prison. Seven more members of the Zemun clan, two more members of the JSO and one member of the Security Information Agency were convicted for the murder of the Prime Minister of Serbia, while the political background of the assassination was never clarified.
Police colonel Ivan Ristic was appointed as the commander of the JZO at the beginning of the year, after the former head of that unit, Marko Kricak, was appointed as the head of the Criminal Police Directorate (UKP).
Ristić was part of the last generation of members of the Special Operations Unit (JSO), after which he was transferred to the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ).
From 2004, he performed the tasks of direct physical protection and security of the ambassador of the United States of America and the facilities of the US embassy, and from 2014 to 2015, he served as chief of staff and adviser to the then Minister of the Interior, Nebojša Stefanović.
He served as assistant to the then police director Vladimir Rebić from 2015 to 2021.
