The list reportedly belonged to Mladen Obradovic, the leader of the right-wing organisation Obraz. Veljovic claimed that Ovbradovic was one of the main perpetrators of the violence. Violent riots broke out on Sunday in several parts of the city following a gay pride parade. Anti-gay protesters clashed with police, leaving more than 100 people, mostly police officers, injured and causing more than one million euros in damage to the downtown area.Veljovic called the attacks on the police extremely organised and synchronised.The police have reportedly detained 249 rioters, but have kept 131 in custody.
Some have seen the police officers as the stars of the Sunday's events. Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dacic has announced a 20 per cent raise in the October salaries for all the policemen who defended the pride parade from rioters.
