# Šapić attacked councillor Tatjana Mićić

Category: Violence against citizens  
Period: from 28 Sep 2026  
Outcome: Under investigation (as of 13 Oct 2026)  

Tatjana Mićić, a Kreni-Promeni councillor in the Belgrade City Assembly, says Mayor Aleksandar Šapić hit her on the nose on 28 September 2026 in Bežanijska kosa. According to medical records, she has a fractured nasal bone and part of the jaw. Šapić denies hitting her and says he only pushed her away. The Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office questioned him as a suspect for grievous bodily harm and violent behaviour, but has not yet decided whether to prosecute.

## What Tatjana Mićić says

According to Tatjana Mićić, Šapić lunged at her while she was out walking with her husband in Bežanijska Kosa, claiming she had been bringing people to his house. When she took out her phone to film him, he began hitting her on the arm, and when she stepped between him and her husband, he struck her on the nose.

The prosecutor's office said that night that she and her husband had been found to have minor bodily injuries. According to records from the University Clinical Centre reported by Vreme, she has a displaced fracture of the nasal bone and part of the upper jaw; she underwent surgery on 5 October.

## Šapić's version

Šapić denies hitting her. He says he was the first to speak to the councillor and that he only pushed her away from him when her husband came at him. He apologised to the SNS and to Aleksandar Vučić for not walking away, but not to the councillor, and announced criminal complaints against her, her husband and the movement.

Kreni-Promeni published a video which, according to N1, shows him hitting her while she films him; Vreme writes of physical contact. Vučić said Šapić was responsible because, as an official, he should have walked away.

## A night at the police station

Šapić was taken to the Novi Beograd police station, where he tested negative for alcohol and psychoactive substances. According to the prosecutor's office, he was released when the legal time limit for holding him ran out, because police had been unable to reach the injured parties during the night.

The Kreni-Promeni movement claims that Šapić was carrying a pair of pistols that night. The prosecutor's office says that after his release he voluntarily handed them over at his home, escorted by police, that he owns them legally and that they were temporarily seized from him. Because the time of seizure on the receipt did not match the timeline in the police report, the prosecutor's office opened a separate case on 14 October into the conduct of officers from the Novi Beograd police station and notified the Interior Ministry.

## Pre-investigation proceedings

The Third Basic Public Prosecutor's Office is conducting pre-investigation proceedings on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and violent behaviour. On 2 October it questioned Šapić as a suspect and Mićić as the injured party. Kreni-Promeni filed a criminal complaint against Šapić on 29 September. According to Mićić's lawyer, her husband's questioning has been scheduled for mid-November.

Kreni-Promeni claims that the prosecutor in charge of the case, Mirko Despotović, is protecting Šapić. The prosecutor's office says the prosecutor is being put under pressure and that it will notify the High Prosecutorial Council. Mićić's lawyer says the proceedings are moving slowly, and on 19 October the movement filed complaints against police officers and Emergency Centre staff for failing to provide the prosecutor's office with complete medical records.

## Call for dismissal

On 6 October the opposition walked out of a session of the City Assembly after only 15 councillors voted to debate the incident, and on 7 October 41 councillors requested an extraordinary session on removing Šapić. The 13 October session was not held because the ruling majority did not ensure a quorum; Aleksandar Mirković, head of the SNS councillors' group, blamed the opposition. The session is set to resume on 23 November.
