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 nekim izveštajima, Zivkovićevo hapšenje, zajedno sa ranijim hapšenjima visokih vojnih oficira, blisko je povezano sa odlaskom generala Radoslava Skorića sa funkcije šefa Uprave za bezbednost Vojske Srbije i Crne Gore.
