The commander of the Special Anti-Terrorist Unit, police Colonel Igor Žmirić, has answered Vulević in public. His message was blunt: nobody needs to remind the unit of its duties. Members of the force, he said, know their professional obligations without outside prompting. In his words, the unit acts strictly according to the Constitution. Žmirić stressed that the anti-terrorist force will not drift from its mission of preserving peace and security. He framed that resolve as holding despite attempts to politicize the unit's work. The exchange reads like another round in a dispute over the independence of special police units.
