Davor Dragicevic, the father of tragically killed 21-year-old David Dragicevic said on Thursday following the meeting with state prosecutors Ozrenka Neskovic and Milanko Kajganic, that he was optimistic the investigation into death of his son will be in line with all law norms.

“The findings that me and my lawyer presented in talks with Ozrenka give me some sort of optimism that investigation into the case of murder of my son will be adequate and launched in line with all law norms,” said Dragicevic, who returned from abroad this week to seek justice for his son.

Dragicevic said he expects from the prosecutors to do their job.

“If I notice anything, any sort of obstruction, I will react,” he stressed.

In March 2018, police found the lifeless body of David Dragicevic, 21, in a river near Banja Luka, the administrative centre of Bosnia's Serb-majority region of Republika Srpska (RS).

A few days later, a pathologist told the media that the cause of death was likely drowning and that Dragicevic had taken drugs. The press conference sparked a series of protests, especially since another autopsy performed on David’s body showed a different time of death.

Dissatisfied with the investigation, the citizens formed a group ‘Justice for David’ led by his father Davor Dragicevic, who swore he would pursue justice no matter what.
The group organized a series of protests in Banja Luka, demanding the truth behind the death of Dragicevic to be revealed.

The case was later reclassified as murder.

Davor Dragicevic and his supporters believe the RS police is covering up the murder and protecting some politically connected suspects. Dragicevic eventually left BiH and went to Vienna, Austria.
