According to reports, Zivkovic's detention, along with the earlier arrest of other high military officers, is closely connected with the departure of General Radoslav Skoric from his position as chief of the Serbia-Montenegro Army's security department.
Prema izvješćima medija, Zivkovićevo uhićenje, zajedno s ranijim uhićenjima visokih vojnih časnika, blisko je povezano s odlaskom generala Radoslava Skorića s funkcije šefa Sigurnosne uprave Vojske Srbije i Crne Gore.
