Lawyer Ivan Ninić believes that the alleged arrest of two people in Raška on suspicion of “spying for Albanian intelligence services” — as reported by pro-government media — is linked to the wounding of Milan Vukašinović earlier this month in northern Kosovo. Due to everything he has been publicly announcing in recent days, Ninić has once again received threats from the Telegram channel “Koridor.”
“The same operation,” Ninić told KoSSev, describing the two incidents as connected parts of a single covert action.
Ninić first raised public alarm on November 3 through social media, claiming that Vukašinović had been shot and abducted on November 1 in the village of Jelakce, Leposavic municipality. According to him, the wounded man was later transferred to the Clinical Center in Niš.
Two days later, the Kosovo Police confirmed that several masked men had entered Kosovo territory, shot Vukašinović, and then taken him back to Serbia. The police informed KFOR, and the case is being investigated by the Directorate for Organized Crime and Serious Offenses, which has already questioned witnesses.
Meanwhile, Ninić filed a criminal complaint against what he described as members of the Serbian Army, police, or a “group led by Milan R.” for “attempted aggravated murder.” He also released the name of a man he claimed was used as “bait” to lure Vukašinović, as well as photos of a destroyed vehicle, calling the case “Banjska 2.”
Alleged “Spy Arrests” in Raška
Pro-government media have meanwhile reported that Vukašinović’s alleged abduction and wounding served as the trigger for the arrest of “spies in Raška” accused of working for Albanian intelligence. These reports, however, have not been confirmed by any official institution.
According to the same outlets, Vukašinović was injured after allegedly trying to flee during his “arrest” at the administrative line, when Serbian security services opened fire. They claim he was sent to Niš for treatment and placed under detention.
KoSSev repeatedly contacted the Serbian Ministry of Interior, the Serbian Army, and the Security Intelligence Agency (BIA) for comment on Ninić’s allegations and the reported “spy arrests in Raška,” as well as to clarify whether there is a connection between the two incidents. None of the institutions have responded so far.
Ninić: Operation “Spoiled” After Public Disclosure
In his statement to KoSSev, Ninić said the action was intended to “remain secret” but was “spoiled” after he brought it to public attention.
“It turned out the operation was carried out on territory the security forces were not allowed to enter, which is confirmed by the location where Milan’s car was later found. It’s all part of the same operation, but the media narrative appeared with delay because the authorities didn’t know whether Milan would survive or die from his injuries in Niš,” Ninić said.
KoSSev will seek official comments from the Serbian Army, the Ministry of Defense, and BIA regarding Ninić’s latest statements.
Renewed Threats Against Ninić
Following his recent public allegations, Ninić said he has again received threats through the Telegram group Koridor.
Ponovo sitižu mi pretnje sa Telegram grupe „KORIDOR“,
zbog objavljivanja FOTOGRAFIJA i informacija na koji je način streljan Milan VUKAŠINOVIĆ iz Leposavića, samo zato što nije po meri Srpske liste, Milana Radojičića i A. Vučića.

He posted screenshots of the messages online, adding that he is not afraid.
“Oliver Ivanović never stood a chance — not to survive, not to do politics, nor to receive protection from security services. With or without a canopy, Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija, and all of us, are simply hostages of the biggest organized criminal group in the Balkans and in Europe,” Ninić wrote.
OLIVER IVANOVIĆ jednostavno nije imao nikakvih šansi, ni da preživi, ni da se bavi politikom, ni da dobije zaštitu od službi bezbednosti.
I sa i bez NADSTREŠNICE, Srbi sa KiM i SVI mi smo jednostavno taoci najveće organizovane kriminalne grupe na Balkanu i u Evropi trenutno! pic.twitter.com/wLoyfGdDSW

Not the First Time
This is not the first time Ninić has reported threats or targeting. In late August, he filed a criminal complaint with the High-Tech Crime Department of the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office against three unidentified individuals — users of TikTok, X, and the Telegram group Koridor — over a video that, he said, targeted him personally.
In a previous interview with N1, Ninić alleged that the Koridor group operates in Kosovo and Metohija and is linked to certain journalists whose activities are financed by the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija, while its content, he claimed, is partly funded by the BIA.
He further stated that he believes former Srpska Lista vice president Milan Radoičić stands behind the group, which he said has attacked him in the past. The video targeting him, Ninić added, was reminiscent of a campaign against politician Oliver Ivanović before his assassination.
Asked whether there have been any developments following the criminal complaint, Ninić told KoSSev:
“I filed a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office for High-Tech Crime in Belgrade back in August, which included the threats from that Telegram group. To this day, there has been no response, and I haven’t been questioned,” he said.
