The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) expresses its concern at the continuing practice of Serbian police to call in people for investigatory interrogations solely because of their political activities or work with non-governmental organizations. At 9 a.m. on 29 May, Milos Cvorovic, a university student and activist of the Belgrade Circle, was summoned by telephone for questioning at the Savski Venac municipal police station in Belgrade.

Cvorovic appeared at the police station at 10 a.m. He was questioned in a ground floor office by an Inspector Lekic and another State Security officer about his contacts with Kosovo Albanians and leaders of Kosovo political parties, with whom he had traveled to Kosovo, and who in Belgrade maintained contacts with Albanians. He was interrogated also about the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights in Serbia, Women in Black, the Social-Democratic Union, the Balkan Peace Team and their contacts with Kosovo Albanians.

The interrogation lasted three hours. The State Security officers were polite but warned Cvorovic to tell no one about being questioned. They also told him they would have "talked differently" with him a year ago.

The HLC points out that no one may be summoned for investigatory interrogations by telephone nor questioned about their political activities or work with non-governmental organizations. It calls on Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs Dusan Mihajlovic to state whether he ordered that people be summoned for such questioning and if the police would continue with this unlawful practice.
