Assassination

Kondor and his daughter were attacked on 22 February 2007 by local gangsters with machine guns. He was killed while she was severely injured. Kondor had been a witness to the killings of 23 Bosniaks in Bijeljina and was cooperating with the State Investigation and Protection Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Christian Schwarz-Schilling, the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the time, condemned the killing and expressed his condolences to the family.

Two suspects, Jasmin Baraković and Ljubiša Vidaček, were arrested and convicted to 20 and five years imprisonment respectively. Baraković had previously stalked Kondor's daughter for two years. Kondor had informed the police twice that he had received threats from Baraković and sought protection, but they did not take the threats seriously and failed to take action.

The Duško Kondor Civil Courage Award was created to commemorate him and is awarded annually.
