The Police Directorate and the National Security Agency have announced that they do not have operational data indicating the suspicion that fugitive Alija Balijagić is prone to radical religious extremism.

This Bjelopolje resident is suspected of the double murder of Jovan and Milenko Mrdak in the Bjelopolje village of Sokolac.

In a joint statement, UP and ANB point out that the data at their disposal does not indicate that the motives for committing the crime on October 25, for which Balijagić is suspected, were of a religious or national nature.

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said last night, in a television guest appearance, that Balijagić "became an extreme radical Islamist" and that they supposedly have information about this "from our connections in Montenegro".

"This person is prone to committing serious crimes against persons and property, which is why he spent several years in prison, but his activities that can be linked to radical activities in the field of religious extremism have not been registered. We appeal to all social factors in the country to report responsibly and accurately in connection with this and all other cases, especially in the context of communicating inaccurate or unverified information that may cause religious or national intolerance," the statement reads.
