As Mayor Milikic explained, the Vodovod director resigned because he finds it very difficult to cope with what has happened.

Vodovod ("Waterworks") is a public utility company, two of whose workers are suspected of murdering toddler Danka Ilic.

Milikic also said when "when the time comes" he will declare three days of mourning in Bor.

The mayor told the press that he also found it difficult to process the situation regarding Danka Ilic's murder, and that he cried.

He said he is also the father of a 2-year-old child, and took it all emotionally. The mayor said he had hoped the case would not have this outcome and believed until the last moment that Danka was alive and in Vienna, and would soon be back in the arms of her family.

According to Milikic, we should all work on empathy, and he revealed that he was in disbelief over "what kind of people we are becoming," and over the fact somebody is capable of committing such a terrible crime.

The child's body has not yet been found, although the area where it is suspected to be located has been searched around the clock for days now.

All suspects in this case of a monstrous murder have been arrested and remanded in custody.
