The doctor tried to save the Serbian prime minister who was killed 20 years ago.

Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic was killed in front of the government building on March 12th 2003. Cardinal Miljko Ristic was in the operating room when Djindjic was brought in seriously injured.

The doctor who tried to save Djindjic's life has discovered details unknown to the case that marked Serbian history.

Ristic, speaking of injuries Djindjic had received, said the opening wound was on the right side of the chest, while the exit wound was on the left side of the chest.

“Therefore the bullet was sent from the height because there were no horizontal paths. For me, it is a dilemma whether the prime minister has stepped into the door of the government or on his back. It's not logical. If he entered the door head-to-head, under those circumstances it is impossible to shoot him off the suspected path, but the bullet came from the completely opposite direction”, Miljko Ristic said.

As he added, Djindjic had a huge wound on his heart.

The “could have been surgically resolved, however, we noticed that something was wrong. We decided to open our stomach and a large quantity of blood came out. The liver was split into a thousand pieces”, he said.

Ristic added that the bullet that hit Djindjic had a devastating side force, and that it was one of those bullets called “mult” (with two explosions).

Serbia's former prime minister, Zoran Djindjic, was killed on the steps of the Serbian Government headquarters around 12:30 this morning 20 years ago. The bullet went through his heart, and he was rushed to the hospital.
