July 7, 2026
The morning July 7 edition combines one political lead, two broader public-interest stories, and four practical cards. Parliament returned to its combined 18-item sitting, Bačka Topola again announced a maternity pause, Kreni-Promeni launched the Prijavi-Reši platform, and the Senjak line shifted toward a dispute over what remains in the case after Veselin Milic's release. The practical block is carried by BG Prevoz changes near Bezanijska kosa, seventeen Novi Sad routes detoured by Strazilovska works, and July 8 power cuts in Sremska Kamenica and Veternik.

The morning FULL pass added seven cards: on the resumed 18-item parliamentary sitting, the renewed maternity pause in Bačka Topola, Kreni-Promeni's new civic platform for local complaints, Veselin Milic's release from custody in the Senjak branch, BG Prevoz changes at Bezanijska kosa, seventeen rerouted lines in Strazilovska in Novi Sad, and tomorrow's power cuts in Sremska Kamenica and Veternik. Checked N1, Danas, Kurir, Novosti, Google Trends, BG Prevoz, JGSP Novi Sad, and 021; no Google Trends topic qualified for publication.
- 12:18 PM
Editorial QA did not change the factual meaning of the morning edition, but refined the Prijavi-Reši card: the badge was changed from the promotional form-completion time to the concrete July 7 launch status, and the Russian wording around complaints and institutional response was made more natural.

N1 and Danas report that the Kreni-Promeni movement has opened the Prijavi-Reši platform for reporting utility and other local problems, from potholes, illegal dumps, and broken lighting to water, sidewalks, and public transport. In their description, the team verifies reports, approaches the responsible institutions, goes to the field when needed, and may organize residents around the problem, making it more than a complaint form and closer to a civic pressure channel.

N1 reports that the Higher Court in Belgrade has lifted custody for former Belgrade police chief Veselin Milic and that he has already left Central Prison, meaning he will defend himself from freedom in the next phase. In N1's reporting and the lawyers' comments carried there, the case has narrowed to the failure-to-report branch around the killing of Aleksandar Nešović at restaurant 27 in Senjak, while critics tie the release to the fact that evidentiary actions on that branch are exhausted and that the investigation has already been seriously compromised.

N1: Terzić ties the release to the exhaustion of evidentiary actions
(Advokat Terzić o puštanju Milića: Tako važnom čoveku režima će se omogućiti da odgovara za blaže krivično delo)
N1 writes that lawyer Vladimir Terzić sees the lifting of custody for the former Belgrade police chief as a consequence of evidentiary proposals already being exhausted. N1 adds that Milic now defends himself from freedom and that the accusation left standing is the failure-to-report branch around Aleksandar Nešović's killing at restaurant 27 in Senjak. Terzić also points to the unusual fact that part of the heavier accusation had already dropped away during the investigation.

In the same report, N1 reminds readers that the Higher Court in Belgrade lifted custody the previous day and that Milic will continue defending himself from freedom in the restaurant 27 Senjak murder case.

Stories
Boske, Senjak, and Autokomanda
This story connects the shooting at a restaurant on Autokomanda, the arrests of Interventna jedinica 92 officers, the figure of Sasa Vukovic Boske, former Belgrade police chief Veselin Milic, and the separate Senjak branch. It is no longer only a crime chronicle but also a story about how police and prosecutors handle cases involving connected people.
- The Autokomanda branch is about suspicion that some police officers failed to record the shooting properly and helped conceal procedural traces.
- The name of Sasa Vukovic Boske appears as the figure whom, according to the prosecution's version, the authorities did not properly prosecute after the shooting.
- On June 11, N1 reported that the commander of Interventna jedinica 92 and a team leader were placed in custody over obstruction of Vukovic's prosecution.
- On the evening of June 11, N1 reported that Mitar J., Jugoslav S., and Nenad S. denied the allegations, Darko Z. remained silent, and the Higher Prosecutor's Office sought custody for Jugoslav S., Nenad S., and Darko Z. and house arrest with electronic monitoring for Mitar J.
- In comments to N1, former inspector Sinisa Carevic says the restaurant owner's testimony, cameras, cell-site data, and phone contacts will matter.
- Retired police colonel Slavica Radovanovic called MUP's work in the Senjak murder investigation sloppy and amateurish and tied the problem to the leadership of the Criminal Police Directorate.
- The Senjak branch remains a separate but closely related story about a shooting, the killing of Aleksandar Nesovic, and complaints of police violence during questioning.
- Prosecutor Nenad Lazic told N1 that it would be logical to review the work of the Higher Prosecutor's Office in the Senjak case at the level of the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office.
- On June 12, Novosti reported that the Higher Court in Belgrade extended custody for Veselin Milic for up to 30 days, and also extended custody for Sasa Vukovic, Mario S., Danka V., Nenad L., Dejan S., and Jasna Z. in the Aleksandar Nesovic Baja murder case.
- On June 13, 021 carried the Higher Prosecutor's Office explanation: the part of the complaint against Milic alleging assistance to the perpetrator after the crime was dismissed because further evidence and testimony did not confirm that he called Nesovic to come without security, was in the restaurant at the time of the killing, or removed traces.
- On June 13, prosecutors expanded the investigation into Aleksandar Nesovic's killing: Sasa V. and Mario S. are suspected of aggravated murder as co-perpetrators, Danka V. of assisting aggravated murder, and evidentiary actions were ordered against Veselin M. and seven others in the failure-to-report and assistance-after-the-crime branches.
- On June 16, Sasa Vukovic Boske was questioned at the Higher Prosecutor's Office at his own request; lawyer Ivan Simic confirmed that questioning continues on June 17, while details of the statement are not known.
- On June 18, Novosti reported that Vukovic Boske spent two days giving his defense in the presence of three Higher Prosecutor's Office prosecutors over suspicion in the killing of Aleksandar Nesovic Baja at restaurant "27" in Senjak.
- On June 20, VJT ordered the Second Basic Prosecutor's Office to form a case and identify unknown persons who, according to the defense, threatened Veselin Milic in Belgrade district jail; the prison administration said it follows safety procedures for all detainees.
- On July 7, the Higher Court in Belgrade lifted Veselin Milic's custody, leaving him to defend himself from freedom on the failure-to-report branch; lawyers quoted by N1 tie that outcome to exhausted evidentiary steps and to an investigation they view as seriously compromised.
Timeline
How the story developed
According to N1, Danas, Kurir, and Novosti, a shooting incident took place at the Steak and Wine Bar on Autokomanda. The prosecution later said it suspected that some police officers had failed to carry out the necessary steps after the event.
The Senjak branch intensified through reporting on the killing of Aleksandar Nesovic and complaints of police violence during questioning. N1 stressed that prosecutors were not releasing details, citing the protection of the pre-investigation phase.
All four outlets wrote about the arrest of the commander and officers of Interventna jedinica 92. N1 and Danas stressed institutional failure and procedural violations, Kurir personalized the case through the figure of the commander, and Novosti relayed the official prosecutorial position.
N1 reported that the commander of Interventna jedinica 92 and a team leader were placed in custody, and later detailed the questioning of Mitar J., Jugoslav S., Nenad S., and Darko Z. After the questioning, the Higher Prosecutor's Office sought custody for Jugoslav S., Nenad S., and Darko Z., house arrest for Mitar J., while Slavica Radovanovic called MUP's work in the Senjak branch sloppy and amateurish.
Novosti reported that the preliminary-proceedings judge of the Higher Court in Belgrade extended custody for up to 30 days for Veselin Milic, Sasa Vukovic, Mario S., Danka V., Nenad L., Dejan S., and Jasna Z. in the Aleksandar Nesovic Baja murder case.
021 carried the Higher Prosecutor's Office explanation for dismissing part of the complaint against Veselin Milic: subsequent evidence and testimony did not confirm a call inviting Aleksandar Nesovic to come without security, Milic's presence in the restaurant at the time of the killing, or his removal of traces.
Prosecutors expanded the investigation into Aleksandar Nesovic's killing: Sasa V. and Mario S. are suspected of aggravated murder as co-perpetrators, Danka V. of assisting aggravated murder, and evidentiary actions were ordered against Veselin M., Nenad L., Vuk S., Petar U., Dejan S., Jasna Z., Milos J., and Dusan V.
Sasa Vukovic Boske, whom prosecutors describe as the direct perpetrator in Aleksandar Nesovic's killing, was questioned at his own request; lawyer Ivan Simic said the questioning continues on June 17.
Novosti reported that Vukovic Boske spent two days giving his defense before three Higher Prosecutor's Office prosecutors over suspicions in Aleksandar Nesovic Baja's killing at restaurant "27" in Senjak.
After the defense alleged threats to Veselin Milic in Belgrade district jail, VJT ordered the Second Basic Prosecutor's Office to identify unknown persons, while the prison administration said it strictly follows safety procedures for all detainees.
The Higher Court in Belgrade lifted Veselin Milic's custody, moving him to defense from freedom on the branch alleging failure to report Aleksandar Nesovic's killing at restaurant "27" in Senjak. In comments to N1, lawyers Vladimir Terzic and Bozo Prelevic tie that decision to exhausted evidentiary steps and to an investigation they say is already too compromised.
