# Belgrade Communal Police

During the night-time demolition in Savamala, duty officers referred citizens who called the police to the Communal Police, explaining that this was an order "from the top of the police"; its then chief Nikola Ristić claims that mayor Siniša Mali told him that "a demolition has to be done". According to KRIK, Ristić was also among the members of the mayor's security detail who took a camera and a phone from KRIK journalists and deleted the footage.
