After being beaten in the center of Belgrade, general and national hero Jovo Kapičić decided to leave Serbia and return to his native Montenegro, Radio Free Europe reports.
Jovo Kapičić, who is 92 years old, will continue to live in Montenegro because, as he believes, he has been denounced by the majority of the Serbian public, both for his role in the arrest of Chetnik leader Draža Mihailović, and for his advocacy of Montenegrin independence, liberal and anti-nationalist views. .
Jovo Kapičić told Radio Slobodna Evropa that he is leaving Serbia because he has nothing to look for there.
"I intend to hide down in my Montenegrin region so that I don't get beaten anymore. I have to stay here a little longer because of the doctor who will bring me back to normal and I'm going to live the few years I have left, even though I'm in Belgrade was 74 years old, and he fought for that city and this nation," said Kapicic.
Jovo Kapičić was attacked on December 12 in the center of Belgrade for, he believes, political and historical reasons.
"Even if they find the person who attacked me, he didn't do it because he loves or hates me, but because in the Serbian Parliament and in all the media, Jovo Kapičić is declared to be a man who is an enemy of the Serbian people."
"Even if they find the person who attacked me, he didn't do it because he loves or hates me. He did it because in the Serbian Parliament and in all the media, Jovo Kapičić is being declared a man who is an enemy of the Serbian people.
Well, then he finds a reason to be satisfied as a Serbian patriot, when in fact he is an ordinary street person. Well, those are the things that tell me - you have nothing to do here," Kapicic told RSE.
Jovo Kapičić recently stated in an interview for the Sarajevo newspaper "Dani" that he would have killed the attacker who attacked him in Belgrade "like a rabbit if he had a gun at that moment".
