Srdja Popovic, Djindjic family lawyer, has said that the man mentioned by Milos Simovic, convicted of assassinating then Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, under the nickname 'Coki' as allegedly ordering the assassination of Djindjic was then deputy prime minister Nebojsa Covic.
Such a statement represents Simovic's attempt to gain the status of protected witness, though the Prosecution for organised crime believes that he is doing so through claims already heard earlier during the original trial.
