Film director and professor at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts, Stevan Filipović, publicly questioned the police and the prosecutor’s office about why his phone, which was taken by his attackers three days ago, was first located inside a Belgrade police building and then appeared in southern Kosovo.
In a post on Instagram, Filipović wrote that his phone is currently “in southern Kosovo,” sharing screenshots of its geolocation that indicated his mobile device was, at the time of writing, located in Uroševac 12 hours earlier.
Earlier, appearing on Nova S television, Filipović said that he had remotely erased the contents of his iPhone, but that he could still track its location through Apple’s Find My application.
“I first located it at the Interior Ministry building in Majke Jevrosime Street. Then I went there and asked that it be entered into the official report that I had found, through the Find My app, that the phone was physically located there. They included that in the report, but told me it definitely wasn’t there. Then the app showed it in a park near Dunavska Street where hooligans gather. After that it appeared at the Interior Ministry’s forensic department in Kneza Miloša Street. Ten hours later, the new location was Uroševac,” Filipović said.
Filipović had previously announced on social media that he was assaulted in downtown Belgrade on the evening of Wednesday, August 5.
In a video posted on Instagram, he claimed that he was attacked by “a group of supporters, members, and paid associates of the ruling party” after he photographed them allegedly spray-painting graffiti on a protected historic building at the corner of Makedonska and Nušićeva streets.
“Criminals serving the regime no longer have a problem beating a man with their hands, feet, and a metal chair in front of 15 witnesses and several surveillance cameras,” Filipović wrote.
He said one of the attackers first snatched his mobile phone, after which five more men joined in, knocked him to the ground, kicked him, and struck him with a metal chair.
The First Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office announced that it has launched an investigation into the incident, while Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, condemning the attack, called on the competent authorities to identify and punish those responsible. However, he also added, “if it is true that Filipović was attacked.”
