Threatening reports of bombings on Belgrade bridges

The Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Branko Bridge, the Gazelle Bridge, the New Railway Bridge, as well as the Panceva Bridge are among the locations where bomb reports were received.

Reporting on the bomb has also reached the shopping center “Stadium” in Belgrade, where at 16:30 the match between KF Vozhdovci and KF Partizan is scheduled, RTS reports.

Reports of planted bombs reached 97 primary and secondary schools in Belgrade on the morning of May 16, and after verifications in a large number of schools, the reports were found to be false, the Serbian Ministry of Education announced.

The students have returned to school, while in the schools where the security inspection is still ongoing, the students have been sent home, the ministry said in a statement.

“As of 14:00, the police have inspected 60 primary and 13 secondary schools in Belgrade and it has been found that this is a matter of false concern, while the others are being inspected,” said Slavko Gak, secretary of education and child protection, in a statement posted on the Belgrade city website.

As he pointed out, there is no relaxation until the last school is inspected.

“Security is the most important thing in situations like this,” Gak said.

Reports have reached, among others, the primary schools “King Peter II Karadjordjevic”, “Vladimir Rollovic”, “Gjura Jaksic”, “Danilo Kish”, “St. Sava” and “Drinka Pavlovic”, RTS reports.

According to RTS, parents have received messages not to bring their children to school, teaching has not started and children who have already arrived at school are returning home.

Also, the police of Nis on the morning of May 16 received a report that a bomb had been planted at the airport “Constantine the Great” in that city.

Police confirmed to the Beta agency that a counter-sabotage check is underway and that the reporting is likely to be false.

This is the second report of a bomb planted in Nis in a month, while there have been false reports of bombs placed in the shopping centers of this city.

Two false reports that explosive devices had been planted at the New Belgrade railway station and at the Belgrade Zoo were also sent on 15 May.

A report, in the string of false reports, was on Friday, May 13, when bomb threats were sent to the addresses of three shopping malls and four student dormitories in Belgrade.

In recent months, since the beginning of the Russian occupation of Ukraine, public buildings in Belgrade have been the target of false bomb reports.

Serbia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs had previously announced that due to the bomb reports, it would seek assistance through international operational police cooperation to obtain information on the perpetrator, organizers and perpetrators of this crime.

So far, the authorities in Serbia have not revealed who is responsible for these false reports.

It has been said that the threats for the suspected bombs placed came from outside, by e-mail, from an encrypted service, which unlike other servers, does not store data.
