Witnesses claim that they heard a West Midlands man, of Serbian descent, boast of the killing as an act of revenge for the 1999 Nato bombing of Belgrade.
According to the Sunday Times, the man "took a theatrical bow" after allegedly making the revelation before more than ten witnesses at a bar in central Belgrade in 2001.
Metropolitan Police homicide squad officers are allegedly looking at the new evidence as part of a review of Operation Oxborough, which investigated the murder of the BBC presenter in Fulham in April 1999. Dando was shot dead on her doorstep aged 37.
Commander Simon Foy, head of the Met's homicide squad, told the newspaper that the force was examining new leads.
"Part of the review of the Dando inquiry has been to look at all new information that has come forward after the trial and to action and research that as best we can," he said.
"But it wouldn't be appropriate for us to comment on specific lines of inquiry."
