Kosovo police sources told BIRN on Friday that Milan Radoicic, a leading figure in northern Kosovo who is close to Serbia’s ruling Progressive Party, is a suspect in the murder of politician Oliver Ivanovic.

Police have only said officially so far that a male with the initials M.R., born in 1978, is a suspect in the case, and that his home has been raided. The Kosovo prosecution has also said that a male with the initials M.R. is a suspect.
