Early on Thursday morning, a man who was claiming to be Milos Simovic and who did not have any identification papers, was arrested by the Serbian police at Morovici near the Bajakovo border crossing on the Croatian-Serbian border while trying to illegally cross the border from Croatia into Serbia, Croatian Interior Ministry spokesman Krunoslav Borovec told Hina.
The police are trying to establish if the man really is the member of the so-called Zemun clan who two days ago seriously wounded another member of the clan, Sretko Kalinic, in Rakitje outside Zagreb.
Borovec said that he did not have information yet on any details regarding the arrest.
Simovic is a fugitive sentenced to 40 years in prison for involvement in the assassination of Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic in 2003.
