Accused in Kosovo, businesses in Serbia

An international arrest warrant has been issued for Radulle Stević in Kosovo. This list includes all the defendants in the Banjska case, headed by Milan Radoić. Radoić is in Serbia, and his registered address is in Belgrade.

Radulle Stević is a wanted person in Kosovo after being accused of involvement in the armed attack in Banjska i Zvečan. For the United States of America, he is under sanctions due to his connections with Milan Radoićić and Zvonko Veselinović, as well as for charges of organized crime and corruption. While for Serbia, he is a businessman, has a company in northern Kosovo and is the owner of luxury apartments in Belgrade.

Stević’s company, Rad 028, owns two apartments and four garages in the Dedinje and Belgrade neighborhoods, according to cadastral data analyzed by Radio Free Europe (RFE/RL). The apartments and garages, according to an estimate based on market prices for real estate in Belgrade, are worth more than 1.5 million euros. RFE/RL has not been able to determine who lives in these properties. The police and the High Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade have not responded to questions about whether they are aware that Stević, who is internationally wanted at the request of Kosovo, is in Serbia and whether he is under investigation for the Banjska case. By the time of publication of this text, Stević had not responded to questions from Radio Free Europe. The questions were sent to the Rad 028 company’s email address and to Stević’s phone number, registered in Serbia, which is still active.

WHO IS RADULLE STEVIC?

Steviqi has been presented to the public as a businessman from northern Kosovo, who has a construction company in Zvecan. These companies are registered in both the Kosovo and Serbian systems, while Steviqi, through tenders, has won contracts worth millions for years – both from Belgrade and Pristina. While Kosovo has stopped awarding contracts after the imposition of US sanctions, tenders from Serbia have continued. According to the Kosovo indictment for the armed attack in Banjska, Steviqi, through his companies, helped Milan Radoicic launder money.

It means, as the indictment states, that “the proceeds from criminal activities are transformed into wealth” and “their origin is hidden”. For money laundering, a charge that weighs heavily on Stević, a sentence of up to ten years in prison is foreseen in Kosovo. The indictment also includes Stević’s companies in Kosovo and Serbia. It is said that the functioning of Stević’s companies was decided by Milan Radoićić, who through money laundering has gained great power and has controlled northern Kosovo through criminal activities.

Meanwhile, Radoićić, who admitted to organizing the attack on the Kosovo Police in the village of Banjska in September 2023, is accused in Kosovo of terrorism and serious crimes against the constitutional order. That is, as the “leader of a terrorist group” that attempted to annex the north of Kosovo, inhabited by a Serb majority, by force and heavy weapons, in order to unite it with Serbia. In the attack in Banjska, a Kosovo policeman was killed, while in the ensuing exchange of fire, three more attackers of Serbian nationality were killed. In Kosovo, on April 24, the first verdict in the Banjska case was announced – two defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment, while another to 30 years in prison. More than 40 other defendants are not accessible to Kosovo justice.

APARTMENT IN BELGRADE

On the seventh floor of one of the towers in the neighborhood called Belgrade on the Water, there is a 54 square meter apartment owned by Stević’s company Rad 028. The company also has a garage in this building. This luxury complex, built on illegally demolished houses along the banks of the Sava, has in recent years been considered one of the most expensive in Belgrade – with prices per square meter ranging from 4 thousand to 10 thousand euros. The value of Radulle Stević’s apartment and garage is estimated at around 280 thousand euros.

Stević’s company, until September 2024, also owned another apartment and a garage in this neighborhood. The Rad 028 company lists an apartment of about 90 square meters and a garage. Data from the cadastre in Serbia shows that the apartment now has a new owner, but it is not clear whether it was sold or donated.

APARTMENT IN DEDINJE NEAR THE VESELLINOVIĆ VILLA

An apartment of about 250 square meters and three garages in a building in the Dedinje neighborhood are also registered as property of the Rad 028 company. Dedinje is another luxurious Belgrade neighborhood, with many villas, embassies and objects under state protection. The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN) has reported that Milan Radoićić had a registered residence in this apartment, which officially appears in the name of Stević’s company. Nearby this apartment is also a villa with a swimming pool owned by Zarko Veselinović, Zvonko Veselinović’s brother, and his wife. Until recently, this villa was owned by the Inkop company, owned by the Veselinović brothers. Their business partner in Inkop was Milan Radoićić. He left the ownership of the Inkopa company and other companies in October 2023, after publicly admitting that he had organized the armed attack in Banjska. He donated his share of the shares to Zvonko and Zharko Veselinović.

The Veselinovics, like Radoicic and Stevici, are also under US sanctions, under suspicion of having links to international organized crime. However, Serbia does not react to these accusations, nor to international sanctions. It also ignores the court decision and indictment in Kosovo for the attack in Banjska.

WHERE IS RADULLE STEVIC?

An international arrest warrant has been issued for Radulle Stević in Kosovo. This list includes all the defendants in the Banjska case, headed by Milan Radoić. Radoić is in Serbia, and his registered address is in Belgrade. The authorities in Serbia refuse to extradite Radoić to Kosovo and say that he will be tried by “Serbian courts”, while Kosovo officials accuse them of offering him protection. As for whether Radulle Stević is also in Serbia, there is no official confirmation. However, his signature was found on a document submitted to Serbian institutions in August 2025. At that time, Radulle Stević submitted a request to the Business Registration Agency to open two more branches of his company in Zvečan, Kosovo – for wholesale trade in chemical products and cereals.

WHAT DOES STEVIC’S COMPANY DO?

Although Steviq and his company Rad 028 are part of the Kosovo indictment, it continues to operate within the Serbian system. During 2025, the company was awarded more than 30 contracts, worth around 6.5 million euros – mainly related to construction projects in Serb-majority areas in Kosovo. Steviq’s company has concluded contracts with provisional municipal bodies, established under Serbian law. These bodies operated in Kosovo, in Serb-majority areas, until 2024, when they were closed by Kosovo authorities, as Pristina considers them illegal.

However, the interim bodies have continued their work from alternative locations in border towns in Serbia. They have not answered Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty about the criteria according to which they award contracts to Stević’s company and how these projects are being implemented – given that Kosovo authorities have suspended construction projects financed by Serbia over the past three years, on the grounds that they do not have permission from Kosovo institutions. The Serbian government and its Office for Kosovo have not responded to questions either. Four contracts were signed during 2026.

In addition to the repair of a church in the village of Zherovnica, near Zvecan, the Rad 028 company has also been entrusted with the supply of New Year’s packages for primary school students in Kosovo, as well as the rehabilitation of a sports field and a playground in North Mitrovica. These works are worth over 520 thousand euros. And during 2025, this company has been contracted for works worth about 6 million euros – the construction of houses for families in need in several municipalities of Kosovo, the renovation of a school in Zvecan and a hospital in Llapna Selo. Educational and health institutions in settlements with a Serb majority continue to function under the Serbian system.

REL was unable to verify whether all these contracts were implemented, namely whether the houses were actually built and the public facilities were renovated. From the tender documentation analyzed by REL, it can be seen that Rad 028 cooperated with several companies mentioned in the Kosovo indictment in the Banjska case, and that money for various equipment – ​​such as machinery – was received by the defendants in the attack on the Kosovo Police and members of their families. In the Kosovo system, Steviq had two construction companies with similar names: RAD DOO and RAD PTP These companies won tenders until December 2021, when Steviq, together with them, was included in the US sanctions. In tenders in Kosovo, from 2018 to 2021, he won work worth around 5 million euros. His company’s services were then mainly used by the Serb-majority municipalities in the north, which operate in the Kosovo system – North Mitrovica, Leposavic, Zvecan and Zubin Potok. (RFE)
