Exactly one year has passed since the tragic night when police officer Nikola Krsmanović was killed during a routine traffic stop in Loznica. His mother Ljiljana and family still live in unbearable pain and grief, unable to accept the loss of their beloved son. Nikola was posthumously awarded the Golden Medal of Bravery Miloš Obilić, but that cannot ease the void he left behind. The killer, Albanian criminal Faton Hajrizi, known as a multiple murderer, fired shots at Nikola and his colleague Vjekoslav Ilić, who was seriously wounded. The annual memorial was attended by a large number of colleagues, friends, and relatives, including Ivica Dačić, and memories of Nikola remain vivid. Ljiljana keeps his belongings, even the socks he wore on his last night, and recalls his scent and words. Nikola had many plans and dreams, but they were violently cut short. His family and colleagues continue to remember and mourn him, while seeking justice and truth about his murder. This tragedy casts a shadow over the daily work of the police and reminds us how dangerous their job is. Will the real truth ever be known, and who will be held accountable for this crime? The family and colleagues do not give up on the search for justice, but the pain remains indelible. If you have anything to say about this tragedy or remember Nikola, feel free to share your thoughts — maybe together we can keep his memory alive.
