Arben Fetoshi, Director of the “Octopus” Institute, has responded to a statement made by the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, regarding Milan Radoičić. Fetoshi assessed the presidential remarks as constituting a form of political acceptance of the armed incident that occurred in Banjska. He contends that the statement demonstrates institutional support from Serbia for those involved in the events of September 24, 2023.
In a post shared via Facebook, Fetoshi stated that the content of Vučić’s declaration—which asserted that Radoičić is being sought due to matters concerning Kosovo and Metohija, rather than criminal activity—cannot be interpreted otherwise. According to Fetoshi, this positioning functions as a legitimization of the actions taken during the Banjska incident. The Director further argued that, by adopting this stance, the Serbian president is presenting the former Deputy Chairman of the Serbian List not as an individual suspected of criminal acts, but rather as a national “patriot” acting in the perceived interest of the Serbian nation.
Fetoshi’s analysis centers on the implications of this political framing. He maintains that the declaration shifts the focus away from potential criminal accountability toward a narrative of national defense. This perspective, according to Fetoshi, frames the situation within a broader geopolitical context rather than a matter of law enforcement.
