According to the journalist Vuk Cvijic, after leaving the newsroom, he left the laptop and three files with documents about the research on which he worked in the car trunk. Only 5-6 minutes later he parked in the Sajkaska street, near his apartment, and then went to a nearby restaurant where he had a meeting. When he had finished the meeting, he came to the car, opened the trunk and saw that there is no laptop and documentation. In the car was a closed bag in which he held a staff for the pool that also disappeared. Nothing else was missing – the tool, some cables, the first aim… Otherwise, at the time of the robbery there were plenty of people, nearby are several popular cafes, a restaurant and primary school. Vuk Cvijic is the journalists of the newspaper Blic and for 15 years he deals with reporting from the judiciary and the investigation of organized crime and corruption.
