According to RTS, the latest arrest is linked to an investigation involving a group allegedly led by M.V., who was arrested three days earlier.
RTS reported that a large quantity of improvised explosive devices, various dangerous weapons made from metal nails, bulletproof vests, helmets and pyrotechnic devices were discovered in the possession of the newly arrested suspect.
Investigators suspect that the equipment was intended to be used during disturbances that the group allegedly planned to provoke in Belgrade on Sunday, October 25, when Serbia is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections.
Five people arrested earlier this week
