After Kljajevic began to read Jovanovic's statement, the lawyers for the accused left the court room out of protest.Jovanovic's statement began immediately with the admission: "I liquidated him [Djindjic] personally.It was a political murder, because The Hague is the biggest disgrace for Serbia."The statement follows with a description of the shooting, the getaway, names of accomplices and other details.
Nakon što je Kljajević počeo čitati Jovanovićevu izjavu, odvjetnici optuženog napustili su sudnicu u znak protesta. Jovanovićeva je izjava na samom početku sadržavala priznanje: "Likvidirao sam ga [Đinđića] osobno. Bilo je to politički motivirano ubojstvo, jer Haag predstavlja najveću sramotu za Srbiju." Izjava se nastavlja opisom samog pucanja i bijega, te se navode imena suučesnika i drugi detalji.
