Serbian lawyer Ivan Ninić has published photographs of a destroyed vehicle allegedly belonging to Milan Vukašinović from Leposavic, who was reportedly seriously wounded last weekend under unclear circumstances near the village of Jelakce, close to the administrative line between Serbia and Kosovo. Vukašinović is currently being treated at the Clinical Center in Niš, where, according to Ninić, doctors are fighting for his life.
“Serb Milan Vukašinović was executed by a Serbian bullet, like an animal!” Ninić wrote on the social media platform X, calling on EULEX and KFOR to conduct an on-site investigation and urging the international community to react, claiming that “this is Banjska 2.”
“They shot at a moving vehicle, they shot Milan Vukašinović in the back. What can the people expect from this regime, from criminals in uniform, and from Aleksandar Vučić, who is losing power?” Ninić wrote, accusing Serbian authorities of concealing the incident.
Definitivno je Srbin MILAN VUKAŠINOVIĆ streljan srpskim metkom, kao životinja!
Danas je pronađen MILANOV automobil koji je uništen prilikom napada na njega!
Pozivam Eulex i Kfor da izvrše uviđaj lica mesta, ali MEĐUNARODNU ZAJEDNICU da reaguje, jer ovo je „Banjska 2“ 👇 pic.twitter.com/ztAVY40xUS

He alleged that officials had “remained silent for six days,” pressuring another detained individual “to sign a plea agreement to provide an alibi for Milan’s execution.” According to him, the government “needs an alibi for the Brussels, Ohrid, and Washington agreements.”
Šta narod da očekuje od ovog režima, kriminalaca u uniformama i Aleksandra Vučića koji gubi vlast ?
Pucali su u vozilo u pokretu, pucali su u leđa Milanu Vukašinoviću

Criminal complaint filed
Previously, Ninić filed a criminal complaint against unknown persons — allegedly members of the Serbian Army, police, or, as he stated, “the group of Milan R.” — for the criminal act of attempted aggravated murder. The complaint, submitted on behalf of Vukašinović’s mother, includes 15 proposed investigative actions that he says the competent prosecutor must urgently carry out.
“For five days, no one has made an official statement about the shooting of Milan Vukašinović. The family is not allowed to see him, the bullet is still lodged in his spine, and doctors, prosecutors, the army, and police — everyone is silent and covering up,” Ninić said.
He also criticized the Office for Kosovo and Metohija and its director Petar Petković for failing to comment, calling the “wall of silence the greatest shame of this state.”
Investigations under way in both Serbia and Kosovo
The Basic Prosecutor’s Office in Mitrovica confirmed that it had questioned one person, reportedly close to Vukašinović, as part of an investigation into the shooting and an alleged abduction. Spokesperson Valon Preteni said the case was being investigated in cooperation with the Kosovo Police.
According to the Kosovo Police, several masked men crossed into Kosovo territory, shot Vukašinović, and then transported him back into Serbia, where he was hospitalized in Niš. The police said KFOR had been informed, and the case was being investigated by the Directorate for Organized Crime and Serious Crimes.
Kosovo institutions commented on the incident only after media inquiries and two days after the alleged shooting — following Ninić’s public appeals.
Speaking on TV Nova earlier this week, Ninić reiterated his claims that “Serbian security forces, not Kosovo authorities,” were involved. He said the attackers wore unmarked uniforms and masks and used vehicles without license plates — “most likely members of the Third Army of the Serbian Armed Forces.”
“It is telling that Milan Vukašinović had conflicts with the Serb List and did not align with the policies of Aleksandar Vučić or Milan Radoičić. The family suspects that individuals outside official structures took part in the attack,” Ninić said.
Kosovo officials, including President Vjosa Osmani, outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and Interior Minister Xhelal Sveçla, have described the incident as “another attempt by Serbia to destabilize Kosovo.” Sveçla claimed that “Serbian gendarmerie entered Kosovo territory, wounded, and abducted a citizen of the Republic of Kosovo.”
The head of the EU Office in Kosovo urged all sides to refrain from speculation until the investigation concludes.
Pro-government media: “Vukašinović wounded during arrest for espionage”
Meanwhile, pro-government Serbian media reported that officers of the Security Information Agency (BIA), in cooperation with other state bodies, had arrested two individuals in the Raška area on suspicion of espionage — a continuation, they said, of an operation in which Vukašinović was arrested and wounded on November 1.
According to those reports, Vukašinović tried to escape, prompting security officers to open fire. He allegedly received immediate medical treatment before being transferred to the Niš Clinical Center.
The same media previously labeled Vukašinović as “Albin Kurti’s spy.”
Ninić, however, insists that the case is “an attempted murder disguised as an arrest operation.” He also alleged that a Serbian Army member, “Daki Antić,” acted as bait for Vukašinović, claiming that Antić’s phone has been turned off since the incident and suggesting he “may have been placed in custody.”
Silence from official institutions
KoSSev reached out to the Serbian Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Defense, the Serbian Armed Forces, and the BIA for confirmation of the media reports on Vukašinović’s wounding and arrest. As of publication time, none had responded.
According to Ninić, Vukašinović remains in critical condition in the Niš hospital. His family still has no access to him, while Serbian state institutions — remain silent.
