On March 28, the police announced that they were "working intensively to find the girl, as well as to establish all the facts and circumstances related to her disappearance."
The day before, the search was suspended in the field where she was reported missing because, as the police stated, "everything indicates that the girl is not in that area" of 10 square kilometers.
In Banjsko polje near Bor on March 28, the number of police was visibly reduced, but patrols are still stationed near the house from which the girl disappeared, Radio Television of Serbia reported.
