The murder of Stefan Savić, a young MMA fighter and Serbian national team member, continues to shake Belgrade and beyond. A year ago, on the night between February 24 and 25, he was brutally stabbed 19 times in Dorćol during a conflict that stemmed from an earlier incident. Two suspects, Marko Daničić and Vasilije Gačević, remain at large, reportedly hiding in Kosovo and Metohija, according to Stefan’s father, Nenad Savić. Despite the passage of time, the family continues to mourn daily, visiting his grave and struggling with the financial and emotional aftermath of the tragedy.
Nenad reveals that the search for the killers has become nearly hopeless because investigative authorities in Kosovo do not cooperate with Serbian officials, creating a legal and political barrier that blocks justice. The family is left alone in their fight while the killers roam free and justice is delayed. Stefan’s daughter Milica, who has completed dentistry studies, battles grief every morning, while her father emphasizes that no punishment will bring their son back.
The crime details are chilling: Stefan was stabbed 19 times, and the attackers calmly left the scene without leaving any trace. Although the police found bloody clothes and an apartment used by the suspects, they managed to escape and evade justice. The conflict began because Stefan defended a friend, and one of the attackers had been injured in that earlier incident. Even the patrons in the café did not dare to help, highlighting the cold-blooded nature of the attack.
This case exposes deep problems in the judicial system and cooperation between Serbia and Kosovo, leaving the family in agony and citizens in fear. Will justice ever catch up with Stefan Savić? While we wait for answers, a bitter taste of injustice and helplessness remains. What do you think about this situation? Is this just the tip of the iceberg of violence and injustice in the region?
