Dikic ill, hearing postponed for Monday

The trial in the case of terrorism attempt on election day on 16 October 2016 has been postponed for Monday because the accused Bratislav Dikic was not able to attend the trial due to health issues.

“Bratislav Dikic did not come to the hearing because after he was examined in the Spuz prison, doctors found he was not capable of coming to trial,” judge Suzan Mugosa said.

Therefore, she postponed the trial for Monday at 9am.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the former chief of the Serbian Gendarmerie Bratislav Dikic and Milos Jovanovic presented their defence before the High Court.

The second day of the trial coup case trial was marked by statements on taking photos in front of the Parliament building, a walk through the Delta City shopping centre to catch wireless and spontaneously send photos to Aleksandar Sindjelic, who paid €500 for burning a building in Podgorica.

On the first trial day, when Dikic was interrogated, DF officials were kicked out of the courtroom because they interrupted the hearing. The defence attorneys were also fined €500 due to “violating the procedural discipline”.

The trial was postponed in July because the defence attorneys required the chief special prosecutor Milivoje Katnic and prosecutor Sasa Cadjenovic to be exempted from the case.

Supreme state prosecutor Ivica Stankovic rejected the request and the acting prosecutor of Saša Cadjenovic in the proceedings for the criminal offense of creating a criminal organization and terrorism in an attempt.

The indictment of the Special State Prosecutor’s Office includes two Russian citizens, Eduard Shishmakov and Vladimir Popov, Serbian nationals Milos Jovanovic, Nemanja Ristic, Predrag Bogicevic, Bratislav Dikic, Kristina Hristic, Branka Milic, Milan Dusic, Dragan Maksic, Srboljub Djordjevic.

It also includes three Montenegrin citizens – Democratic Front (DF) leaders, Andrija Mandic and Milan Knezevic, as well as Mihailo Cadjenovic, an official DF driver. The case against the DF interpreter Ananije Nikic has been conducted separately.
