Topčider Case

Topčider Case – so called in media for investigation on death of two Serbia and Montenegro Guards Brigade soldiers. Soldiers of the Guards Brigade, Dražen Milovanović and Dragan Jakovljević, were killed at their guarding posts in the military facility, Karaš“ in Topčider, Belgrade, on October 5, 2004. At the time, first commission, set up by the military, found that the two soldiers died in a murder-suicide incident, without the involvement of any other persons. The expertise ordered by the Investigating magistrate of the Court Martial in Belgrade, Vuk Tufegdžić ascertained that Jakovljević killed Milovanović, and then committed suicide. On the occasion 20 bullets were shot.

Because of faults of experts nominated by the judge Tufegdžić, the President of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro, Svetozar Marović, formed the National Committee led by the attorney-in-law Božo Prelević. In this case, it was ascertained in an indisputably professional manner, by expertise, that both soldiers had been killed by a third person.[1] Such findings of the National Committee were confirmed by ballistic experts of FBI Quantico Laboratory from Washington, as well as the forensic expert Ljubomir Dragović, also from the USA.[2] Accordingly, no further expertise is required, because it is precisely known that the soldiers had been killed by a third person or persons.[3]
