Two people were arrested on Sunday after yesterday's attack, where a Serbian police officer was shot by a man with a crossbow. The incident occurred outside the Israeli embassy in Belgrade.

The perpetrator has been identified by the police as a "convert" to Islam.

The police officer opened fire in self-defense against the perpetrator, who later died. The injured police officer was conscious when he was taken to the hospital and his condition is described as stable.

The Interior Minister Ivica Dacic went out yesterday and called the incident a terrorist attack.

The motive behind the incident is still unclear.
