| Fifteen people have been charged in connection with the assassination of Serbian prime minister Zoran Djindjic in March. "Fifteen people are accused of being directly implicated in the murder of former prime minister Zoran Djindjic and of terrorism," Serbia's Special Prosecutors Office said in a statement carried on Beta news agency. The names of those charged — the first people indicted in relation to the assassination — were withheld except for that of Milorad Lukovic, otherwise known as Legija, a former special police chief who remains at large. Forty-four people have been held on charges including murder, kidnapping and criminal association as a result of months of intense police investigations. Only 15 were charged with organising the assassination of Mr Djindjic, who was shot dead by a sniper as he left the main Serbian government building in Belgrade on March 12. |
