BELGRADE, Oct. 29 (Xinhua) -- Serbian police and security services found on Saturday an arsenal of weaponry and ammunition in Belgrade, which was close to where the parents of Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic live, Tanjug news agency reported.

The arsenal was located in a forest near the family house of Vucic. Serbian police and security services are now searching for unknown suspects.

Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic confirmed at the arsenal in Belgrade's Jajince district that the police here found a rocket launcher, hand grenades and ammunition just around 50 meters from the road that leads to the house where Vucic's parents live.

"All measures will be taken in order to investigate how weapons ended up here. It is disturbing that weapons were found only several tens of meters from the place where vehicle of PM turns towards his family house, and in an ideal place where it has to slow down," Stefanovic was quoted as saying.

The official added that Vucic's vehicle would be an easy target, especially for the rocket launcher.

"We expect security services to provide us with information on these weapons because counter-intelligence protection is the most important," Stefanovic said.

"This will test whether our security services are capable of facing this type of challenges," he said.

"Serbian PM is at a safe location now," Stefanovic concluded, adding that police found the weapons thanks to a report of citizens.
