The German Embassy in Belgrade denied claims by Serbian Internal Affairs Minister Bratislav Gasic that the man who killed Kosovo Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic was being protected by Germany.

The embassy said in a reply to N1 that the Federal Government of Germany has no knowledge of who killed Ivanovic in January 2018. “We categorically reject the accusation that the perpetrator is under the protection of the German authorities. The Federal Government has not received a request from the Serbian authorities on this case,” the embassy said in its reply to N1.

Gasic told the Parliament on Thursday that he never accused Germany of protecting Ivanovic’s killer but that he was misquoted.



“We asked the German authorities under whose protection is this person at this time, question mark. To provide us with information,” Gasic read out the transcript of the Wednesday debate, saying his statement was quoted without the question mark, Beta reported.


Speaking during Wednesday’s parliament debate on his dismissal initiated by opposition MPs, Gasic said that he knows who killed Ivanovic and who is protecting him, adding that the man was under the protection of the German authorities and that a request for information had been sent to that country.
