- Nikolic was previously detained in Germany in May 2026 for suspected radicalization.
- He claimed online propaganda from ISIS and Al-Qaeda and contacts with extremists radicalized him.
- Nikolic declared allegiance to the Islamic State leader and called for attacks in a final online message.

The individual who attempted a terrorist attack at the Israeli Embassy in Serbia had meticulously prepared for the assault. Authorities have identified the perpetrator as 18-year-old Dario Nikolic, a resident of the village of Bela Reka. Nikolic reportedly left his home for a barbershop the day before the attack and never returned, prompting his parents to report him missing, according to "Alexey Zheleznov Channel."
In May 2026, Nikolic was apprehended in Germany on suspicion of planning an attack against the Jewish community in Munich. During interrogation, he stated that he became radicalized through online propaganda from terrorist organizations like the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda, as well as through contacts with like-minded individuals in closed online groups. A month later, he was transferred to Serbia, where he was released without any restrictions.
Investigators discovered Nikolic's final message in a closed Islamic State group. In this post, he declared allegiance to the group's leader, without naming him, and called for terrorist attacks. The Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs, Ivica Dačić, pointed to a black flag associated with the Islamic State as evidence of a potential connection to Islamists.
Earlier, a man armed with knives attacked a Serbian gendarme guarding the diplomatic mission near the Israeli Embassy in Belgrade. The police officer returned fire, killing the assailant while sustaining minor injuries. Initial reports suggested the attacker was under 18 years old and possibly shouted the religious slogan "Allahu Akbar" during the incident.
