The inspectors who found the bomb under Miloš Vidmar's car seat claimed yesterday that he had touched and tried to pull out the explosive device on his own initiative that evening.
Thus, the trial of Vidmar continued, accused of making and possessing the bomb that was found in his car.
Inspectors Srđan Korać and Vukašin Leković said that that evening they noticed an illegally parked vehicle in Zagorič and saw that Vidmar was in the driver's seat.
They added that they first thought it was some drug when they saw the object under the seat.
“I saw some black object the size of a notebook, taped with electrical tape. I asked him what it was, and he started to pull out the object on his own initiative, I told him to step back, and when I turned on the light, I thought it was an explosive device, because I saw a wire," Korać said.
He added that he has no knowledge that Vidmar and Nikola Vujotić are friends and that he does not know whether Vujotić is in any conflict with the Šakovićs.
When asked by the prosecutor, the inspector said that the bomb was easily visible and that anyone could see it if they approached from the driver's side.
"It was sticking out 3-4 centimeters, it wasn't all the way under the sic," said Korać.
Leković added that he does not know if Vidmar is a person of security interest, but he knows that he has been marked as someone who hangs out with the Šakovićs, who are of security interest.
"A Blackberry phone was found at Vidmar's, and we know that these phones do not make ordinary, but encrypted communications that cannot be traced," Leković pointed out.
Their colleague Mileta Mihajlović, who is the head of the group for anti-terrorist inspections, answering defense questions, stated that it was an improvised explosive device that is activated remotely and explained that it could be activated in various ways, including a mobile phone.
Vidmar previously denied guilt in his defense and pointed out that the bomb was probably intended for someone with whom he is friends.
Although the police claimed at the time that the arrest of Vidmar and Miloš Radović prevented the continuation of the war between the warring clans and the liquidation of someone, Vidmar was accused of illegal possession of weapons, and Radović was given the status of a witness.
Proceedings for illegal possession of weapons were also initiated against Nikola Vujotić, but judge Rade Ćetković separated the proceedings because he is on the run.
Vidmar could leave a DNA trail by touching the bomb
Chemical expert Nikola Božović clarified yesterday that Vidmar could have left a DNA trace by touching the bomb during the search.
"Explosive material could be transferred from the surface of the explosive device by touching it, even though it is inside. By wrapping the insulating tape, the explosive is also transferred to the tape," said the expert.
And Vujotić's DNA trace was found on the bomb.
