Former President of the Supreme Court Vesna Medenica has had her custody terminated, her lawyer Zdravko Begovic has told CdM. After six and a half months spent in the remand prison, she has been released pending trial and today she has left the Spuz prison. Her son Milos Medenica, who has been identified as the organizer of a criminal organization, remains in custody.
Begovic points out that the decision to abolish detention was made by the High Court after his appeal to the Court of Appeals against the previous decision by which Medenica’s stay in the remand prison was extended.
“Today, the High Court issued a decision terminating Vesna Medenica’s detention because there is no possible risk of escape, as the High Court previously considered in the original decision”, said Begovic to CdM, among other things.
Medenica was awaited by her daughter Marija and daughter-in-law Tijana when she was released from prison.
She did not want to make statements to the media after she left the Spuz prison.
