BELGRADE -- President Aleksandar Vucic had a staunch warning for the criminal underworld after a meeting last weekend of Serbia's National Security Council.
"Our message is that we're done with this gang," Vucic said on March 6. "To those who think they have inherited [the gang and its membership], I can say, 'You're done,' meaning you'll soon be behind bars."
Vucic had hinted a day earlier that the Serbian public would be shocked at what police had uncovered since the February 4 roundup of a soccer hooligan and reputed crime boss along with nearly two dozen other suspects.
Police at the time alleged that organizer Veljko Belivuk and his thuggish supporters of Belgrade's storied FK Partizan were "not soccer fans but criminals" responsible for "monstrous crimes."
