Sapic Questioned as Suspect, Micic Heard as Injured Party

The Third Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade questioned Belgrade Mayor Aleksandar Sapic as a suspect on October 2, and the same day heard Kreni-Promeni councilor Tatjana Micic as an injured witness. The actions concern an incident on September 28, which the Kreni-Promeni movement places in New Belgrade, and prosecutors will decide only after they assess all the evidence gathered.

What did the prosecutor’s office say about the questioning?

The statement, as carried by N1, Insajder and Nedeljnik, opens like this:

“The Third Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade informs the public that today, October 2, 2026, as part of evidentiary actions taken in connection with the events of September 28, 2026, the suspect Aleksandar S. was questioned and the injured party Tatjana M. was heard.”

It goes on to say that Sapic gave his defense in the presence of his counsel, while Micic was heard in the presence of her attorney. The statement names neither the criminal offense nor the location of the incident. As its next step, the office announces an assessment of the statements:

“In the further course of the proceedings, the public prosecutor’s office will assess the statements given before the office against the other evidence gathered so far, including video recordings, medical documentation and other available evidence, after which a decision will be made in accordance with the law.”

No deadline for that decision was given. The office said only that it would inform the public of further developments in due course.

What came before the questioning?

On September 28, the Kreni-Promeni movement posted a video on the social network X, along with a statement from Micic: “I was just out walking with my husband and our dog when I met the mayor, who lunged at me.” She claims the mayor bloodied her nose. Before the questioning at the prosecutor’s office, Micic gave a statement to the police.

The movement filed a criminal complaint against Sapic on September 29. Lawyer Nikola Tadic says it cites violent behavior, with minor injuries to Ilija Micic and serious injuries to Tatjana Micic. According to him, the medical records show a fractured nasal bone and upper jaw, and Danas reports that surgery under general anesthesia was needed. Outside the prosecutor’s building in New Belgrade, Tadic said:

“We are asking the prosecutor’s office to ask the court to order detention for Sapic as soon as possible, a man with a history of violence behind him.”

The movement’s president, Savo Manojlovic, made the same demand: “We are asking the institutions to arrest Sapic and order his detention.” Tadic also announced that Kreni-Promeni will file a motion to convene an extraordinary session of the Belgrade City Assembly to debate Sapic’s dismissal.

What does Sapic say?

The mayor denies hitting the councilor. He says he only pushed her away from him to avoid physical contact, and that he would like it established how she was injured. At a press conference after the incident he said: “I admit my biggest mistake was that I did not walk away then.” He announced criminal complaints against Tatjana Micic, her husband and the Kreni-Promeni movement, and refused to resign or apologize.

Until the prosecutors decide, two opposing versions of the same event stand, and the only thing officially known is who was questioned and in what capacity. Each side points to footage and medical findings in support of its claim, which is exactly what the office, by its own statement, has yet to assess.
