The indictment document says that Sheholli was worried he might be followed while traveling toward North Mitrovica. As part of his efforts to conceal his activities, he told a family member: “Even if someone is following me, I’ll lose him…”
The conversation between Sheholli and one of his family members took place in an “Audi” vehicle and was recorded by Kosovo investigative authorities pursuant to a court order authorizing the special investigative measure of “secret monitoring of conversations in private places.”
According to the court order, the covert measure was implemented on September 23, 24, 26 and 30, 2025, and October 1, 2025, “in accordance with the BIA plan.”
The indictment obtained by Klan Kosova states that, after arriving near the Technical School in North Mitrovica on September 26 of last year, Sheholli contacted Bojan Dimiq. The latter is described as a senior official of the Serbian BIA and director of the Directorate for Counterterrorism and International Organized Crime.
A few minutes later, according to the Special Prosecution, a person wearing a black hat opened the car door and handed him a blue folder containing the material, as well as the €5,000 he had agreed on with the BIA official.
After receiving them, Sheholli instructed his wife to hide the material on her body, telling her: “Now we have to go and check it. Check over there. Put it in your bra.”
Later, they stopped at a shopping center, where, according to the indictment, they checked the material and the amount of money agreed upon earlier.
Below are excerpts from the transcript of the report on the special investigative measure, covering the actions described in the indictment from 09:45 to 10:20. At the actual time of 14:39:52, Fatmir Sheholli called Bojan Dimiq:
Fatmir: I’m across the road in the parking lot of a school, right across the road at the entrance to the Technical School, where it says Café Bar Sindikat. I’m right in front.
Bojan Dimiq: Is it hidden somewhere or can it be seen at the entrance to the Technical School? All right, all right.
After the communication with Dimiq ended, Sheholli continued speaking with his wife.
Fatmir: He can see the plates, the one who is coming. I told him where I am.
Fatmir’s wife: Yes, it’s better … (inaudible).
Fatmir: No, no, I gave him a signal to check, (inaudible), whether to get out and walk there or stay in the car. He told me to stay in the car. This school has cameras. Everything can be seen, who leaves their cars here. And over there, look at the Serb flags on the buildings. There’s a Serb flag here too, because this is a Serb school, it’s not ours.
Fatmir’s wife: Yes, exactly.
Fatmir: Look at all the plates, BG, CC, only this one is 01 and 02.
Fatmir’s wife: Whose is the 02?
Fatmir: Mitrovica’s, ours, RKS. We have 01. There’s probably another Serb…
Fatmir’s wife: (inaudible).
Fatmir: Yes, because he didn’t know where I was, woman. I’ve just told him. Now he’ll call them; until someone comes, he now knows where the meeting will take place. He’ll send some bearded guy from there; they all have beards.
The indictment states that while Sheholli was on the phone, at the 00:36 mark of the audio recording, corresponding to the actual time of 14:45:42, the opening and closing of the car door by the person wearing a black hat can be heard. According to the recorded sounds, the material he had been expecting and the money were handed to him at that moment.
Fatmir: (laughs) He got me… this guy called me right at that moment. Now we have to go and check it. Check over there. Put it in your bra.
The Special Prosecution claims that an examination of the defendant’s phone showed that, before these events, he had communicated with BIA official Bojan Dimiq.
The indictment also includes communications from September 26, 2025, arranged according to the actual UTC+2 time.
At 11:44:12, the following message was sent: “u koliko mozes da budes, tursija ti je gotova”.
The Albanian translation of the message is: “Whenever you can come, your pickles are ready.”
According to the indictment, with this message Bojan Dimiq informed Fatmir Sheholli that the material was ready. After receiving the notification, Sheholli set off toward North Mitrovica.
At 11:54:12, the following message was sent: “Da se cujemo jos jednom”.
In Albanian: “We’ll speak again.”
Later, at 13:48:41, the following message was sent: “Salji tablice i auto”.
The Albanian translation is: “Send the plates and the car.”
According to the prosecution, this communication shows that Dimiq had asked Sheholli for the license plates and the vehicle. On September 26, 2025, when Sheholli was in North Mitrovica to collect the materials, he had previously also sent the Serbian BIA official, Bojan Dimiq, a photograph of his vehicle.
That same day, September 26, 2025, at 13:50:13, the defendant took a photograph of his “Audi” vehicle, with license plates 01-XXX-OA.
Based on the transcript of the special investigative measure, the indictment concludes that Fatmir Sheholli subsequently sent this photograph to Bojan Dimiq.
