The judge reads the records of Kristina Hristić's crossing of the Montenegrin border.

"We have no information on when Velimirović entered Montenegro on October 13," said lawyer Radosavljević.

11:52 Lawyer Miroje Jovanović said that this verdict was handed down on April 10, 4, the day after DF disclosed which person it was, referring to the associate witness.

"And I notice that the status of that person in this verdict corresponds to his status because before this verdict he was heard as a cooperating witness," said Jovanović.

Lawyer Radosavljević said that Kristina Hristić is not mentioned in these two judgments.

11:38 Attorney Radosavljević points out that the evidence in these judgments was presented "which this Council separated from the case file as an official note and I stand by the statement as in the previous judgment".

11:35 Judge Suzana Mugoša reads the verdict of the High Court in Podgorica against Miloš Aćimović, Aleksandar Aleksić and Perica Andrić. The court decided that they are guilty, because they became members of a criminal organization,

They were sentenced to five months each, which will include the time spent in custody.

Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić said that the verdict confirms that a criminal group was formed.

"From these two verdicts, what is indisputable is that nine persons confessed to the criminal acts listed in the verdicts, so it can be clearly concluded that they confirmed exactly the event and all the elements of the criminal act listed in the factual description," said Katnić.

"On the basis of these confessions, the event that was supposed to happen was confirmed," said Katnić.

11:22 The trial continued.

10:50 A break was given until 11:15.

10:40 Bratislav Dikić said that he noticed that in this verdict that was read, he had already been sentenced "although no one listened to me on that occasion in relation to what he stated in this verdict, and I was available because I was in custody."

10:35 Lawyer Radosavljević said that the court read the sentence from this verdict, and not just the explanation, "because the verdict was passed on the basis of a guilty plea, but it is not only about the confession, but also the evidence that was conducted through that procedure."

"In that verdict, evidence is mentioned that the Council separated and did not use. I would like to point out that the accused Kristina Hristić is not mentioned in this verdict. Šišmakov and Popov are not mentioned in this verdict, nor are Mandić and Knežević," said Radosavljević.

10:17 In court, they read the verdict of the Podgorica High Court against Mirko Velimirović.

Velimirović was sentenced to half a year in prison.

"The established sentence will not be carried out if the accused does not commit a new criminal offense within a year," said judge Suzana Mugoša.

10:10 The letter from Interpol Moscow dated 4 November 11 and 2016 December 2.12 is read. 2016

They informed Interpol in Podgorica about the passport used by Popov for travel, as well as Širokov.

The chief special prosecutor, Milivoje Katnić, said that Interpol does not have the ability to investigate.

"They got the data from the authorities, and it is certain that these data were falsified," said Katnić.

9:55 Attorney Medojević believes that it would be expedient to read the defenses of Širokov and Popov.

9:45 Lawyer Radosavljević said that the request forms contained incorrect information.

"What I wanted to note in relation to this answer is that I am interested in the request form of the Special State Prosecutor's Office, and above all the one from November 4.11, 2016, because it contains incorrect information and as a result we received a response and obtained listings according to orders I would only point out that specifically for Tamara Magdelinić, three of the five numbers have nothing to do with her.

He said that the name Sinđelić Aleksandar was mentioned in that request form, and even then it was certain what his name was.

In court, they read information about the entry, exit and stay of Širokov and Popov in Serbia

"I would only point out to the court, regarding these reservations, that these two hotels are located a few hundred meters apart, and I don't see what's in dispute there. I would point out that these people transparently booked the hotel, left their phone number," said Radosavljević.

9:33 Prosecutor Čađenović said that the copy of the passport shown for Širokov was forged.

"What I would like to note is that the copy of the passport shown here for Shirokov is forged, because in the case file we have another copy of the passport for a person with the same picture, but it is about Shismakov Eduard, which will later be taken as evidence and which the prosecution obtained. I can also note that these two persons came to Belgrade together, that they booked accommodation at the same time, but in different hotels, and that they left Serbia at the same time."

9:10 In the courtroom, they are reading the answer of the Prosecutor's Office from Serbia on the Report on the obtained telephone communication and the base hourly rates used by Sinđelić.

9:06 Attorney Jovanović points out to the court that this is a recording that has been cut.

"I notice that Sinđelić says that he got the phone from unknown persons, but he doesn't talk about the cards, and in any case, I will suggest that the entire material be delivered to us, which I believe has not been delivered," said Jovanović.

Attorney Medojević pointed out to the court that although the recording is not complete, it is an important piece of evidence for verifying the testimony of the associate witness.

The accused Branka Milić said that this evidence, like all the others that preceded it, is based on a virtual assembly and virtual weapons.

"On the video, the weapon that was sunk and the vehicle with a double bottom are missing," said Milić.

8:57 Lawyer Radosavljević said that this is not an integral complete recording.

"I believe that this is not an integral complete recording. I point out to the court that the time and date are also shown here, but we do not know who filmed it and where, although it was stated that it was found in an improvised warehouse. I believe that the court should not accept such the prosecution's proposal, because if the image without tone is accepted, I don't know what it would look like," said Radosavljević.

Lawyer Bulatović said that image and sound are integral parts of one recording and cannot be separated and observed separately.

"This evidence cannot be conducted separately. I notice that Sinđelić spoke about his private things that he sold at the market, which he spoke about as a witness," said Bulatović.

8:48 Prosecutor Čađenović said that this video cannot be used as evidence because it contains Sinđelić's statement before he acquired the status of an associate witness.

"I would point out that this recording with tone cannot be evidence. Without tone, yes, as we reviewed it, given that it contains what Sinđelić said, and bearing in mind that he was subsequently given the status of a cooperating witness," he said. Čađenović.

The chief special prosecutor, Milivoje Katnić, said that the recording could be evidence in the proceedings, but without the tone.

"We are not bothered by what is being heard, because it only confirms what Sinđelić said, but on that recording he was speaking in the capacity of a citizen," said Katnić.

8:36 Lawyer Jovanović said that he believes that he was deprived of his opinion on the remarks of expert witness Lakić and did not comment on the content, so he requests that the Council allow him to comment on that.

"Given that Lakić is not there, I agree to be granted this at a later stage of the procedure," said Jovanović.

The CD that was delivered with the confirmation along with Sinđelić's temporarily confiscated items will be re-examined
