Serb Bratislav Zhivkovic, who fought on the side of the DPR in Donbass, was arrested in his homeland on suspicion of participating in hostilities abroad, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
This was reported by the publication Slobodna Evropa.
Representatives of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs, in pursuance of an order from the prosecutor's office, detained Zivkovic, known as the leader of the Chetnik movement in Serbia, in Krusevac "on suspicion of committing a criminal offense of organizing participation in a war or armed conflict in a foreign country."
The suspect was placed in custody.
Bratislav Zivkovic - commander of the Serbian paramilitary Chetnik organization. He took part in conflicts in Bosnia, Kosovo and Croatia in the 90s. In 2014, he went to Crimea, saying that he needed to help the Russians.
Later he went to Donbass, where, together with other Serbs, he took part in hostilities on the side of the republics.
Since the end of 2014, the Serbian prosecutor's office has opened 45 cases against citizens of the country who take part in military conflicts abroad, in particular in the Donbass. Only 4 of them resulted in real conclusions.
