He was arrested in the apartment on Grbavica, and it was announced that all of his helpers will be exposed, said Mektic.

Mektic claims that Kandic did the most responsible tasks in the ISIS operations. from acquiring terrorists, checking of the people that were supposed to complete the attacks in the name of the organizations, and building the devices for those attacks.

Mektic claims that Kandic, for whom he said he was a "brain" of ISIS, was just hiding in BiH and few other states, but he wasn't acting in BiH because that would put him in danger and he would be arrested sooner.

He was located on the basis of a phone card purchased in the United Arab Emirates, which he used when he landed in BiH. The search was started from that moment.

On the same press conference, Mektic looked back at the copy of a Dayton Peace Agreement document that was found on Pale, inviting the people responsible for that to publicly say what was also found from the documents and how they reached them, but he didn't want to confirm wheater the letters were found of the former high ranked officials of Republika Srpska or the receipts of high amounts of money.
