Yesterday, Balijagi\u0107 also alerted the Serbian police after being reported seen in the outskirts of Prijepolje. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Gran\u010darevo and the house where he is believed to have slept, Balijagi\u0107 needed almost a day&#8217;s walk to the vicinity of Prijepolje where he was seen yesterday, according to an official statement by the Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia and Minister of Internal Affairs Ivica Da\u010di\u0107. The Minister of Internal Affairs of Montenegro, Danilo \u0160aranovi\u0107, stated that he is in communication with his Serbian counterpart, Ivica Da\u010di\u0107, and that the police forces of Montenegro and Serbia are in continuous coordination and cooperation, making enormous efforts to apprehend Balijagi\u0107. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Da\u010di\u0107: Located near Prijepolje<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia and Minister of Internal Affairs of that country, Ivica Da\u010di\u0107, said that Alija Balijagi\u0107, who is being sought for a double murder in Bijelo Polje, has not yet been found, but that a detailed search of the area is underway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yesterday, there was certain information from the field all day. It&#8217;s about Prijepolje and the border zone with Montenegro. In two places, a person was spotted who was reasonably suspected to be Balijagi\u0107. For two days we have been communicating with the police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Montenegro, cooperating with each other, considering the possibility that he can easily move from one side of the border to the other, because he knows the terrain, which is why we raised the level of readiness,&#8221; Da\u010di\u0107 said in the morning news on RTS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first information came from hunters, who said they had met a man carrying a rifle who said he had lost his hunting dog, Da\u010di\u0107 added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They think he looks like the man in the picture. Secondly, in the village of Ivezi\u0107i near Prijepolje, which is a village towards the border, he visited a woman&#8217;s house, had two shots of brandy and left. She couldn&#8217;t even guess who he was, but she called her son, and he called the police. So those are two tracks that suggest that there is a high probability that he is located in those areas near Prijepolje. Then we raised not only the local police but also the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit and the Gendarmerie. They have been on the ground since last night, searching, all our capacities are currently engaged,&#8221; Da\u010di\u0107 said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said that the presence of police officers has been increased on all lines of work and that &#8220;all possible techniques&#8221; and equipment of the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs are being used &#8211; drones, thermal imaging, tracking dogs&#8230; He also pointed out that the terrain is quite inaccessible and hilly and that there are many abandoned buildings and mountain pastures, but that a detailed search is being carried out. Da\u010di\u0107 also said that he had spoken with his Montenegrin counterpart, Danilo \u0160aranovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/terrible-accident-in-novi-sad-the-roof-of-the-railway-station-collapsed-and-all-emergency-services-are-on-the-scene-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN NOVI SAD: The roof of the Railway Station collapsed, and all emergency services are on the scene!
