The course of the trial

11:53 The trial continues on June 21 at 9 a.m.

11:50 am The court ruled that lawyer Jugoslav Krpović be fined 500 euros for commenting on court decisions. He requested the disqualification of the entire council due to, as he says, insults and denial of the right to defense, and due to bias.

Krpović says that Katnić insulted him and the others because he said that they were making a "Serbian circus".

11:38 Judge Mugoša again refused to show the photos taken by Milić in Macedonia at the end of August showing "interesting objects", the sky and trees. Photos of the sea from Greece will not be displayed either.

10:48 Krpović asked to show photos showing the natural beauty of Macedonia. The judge asked him to explain what these photos have to do with the indictment.

"I want to prove that she is a person who likes to take photos and that she especially likes nature and that she likes to paint buildings because that is her profession," said Krpović.

10:42 a.m. Lawyer Jugoslav Krpović asked to show a photo from Podgorica from the phone of the accused Branka Milić.

"This is a photo from Podgorica on the Braće Zlaticana bridge, across from the former Crna Gora Hotel. These photos reconstruct the movements of my client, which prove that she was not lying,'' said Krpović.

10:36 "It's quite difficult for me to continue this procedural action because I was warned and punished and I was offended before that, and you didn't remove the prosecutor. I will submit the rest to the court in writing. There are enough copies for the prosecution to be able to analyze,'' said Jovanović.

10:34 The lawyer further asked to play the video on which Sinđelić tells the woman: "What I did to you last night is nothing I'm going to do to you." Judge Mugoša refused to play the recording because the private relations between Sinđelić and his wife do not concern the court.

10:30 a.m. The court approved the playback of a recording in which Sinđelić can be heard saying that he cut his hair because his hair gets in the way while he's working. "And here the witness told us that Edi told him to cut his hair and shave," commented Jovanović.

10:28 Jovanović asked to play the recording in which Sinđelić can be heard saying: "That's what you've achieved. I came and beat you and what did you achieve with that''. The judge refused to play that recording.

10:27 Jovanović asked to play the recording on which Sinđelić can be heard beating a woman.

The subject of this proceeding is not the relations of the cooperating witness with his wife, nor are those relations related to this criminal legal event.

"This is about domestic violence. I proposed a psychiatric panel, and what is being heard here is not quite..." Judge Mugoša interrupted him and said: "After the lawyer warned again, the court makes a decision. Bearing in mind that the defense attorney has been reprimanded several times orally and on the record, both for violating procedural discipline and for commenting on court decisions, lawyer Miroje Jovanović is fined 500 euros, Mugoša said.

10:24 Jovanović asked to play the recording of Sinđelić saying: "I can pack now and come, but I don't have fuel. I have to find fuel first. And I'm starving there, I have nothing to eat." The judge refused to play the recording.

10:23 The council approved the playback of an audio recording in which Sinđelić asks a person to bring him two Motorola phones. The latter tells him that "it is not safe". At that, Sinđelić interrupted him and said, "Ah, you're not here." The latter confirms that the Motorolas are there but that it is not safe to bring them. Sinđelić answers him: "Okay, we'll talk so that I can hear from you first..."

10:18 Jovanović asked to play a set of audio recordings in which Sinđelić states: "I will come there when I can and when I find fuel because I have no fuel". The judge refused to play the recordings. "The fact that Sinđelić has or does not have fuel is not the subject of this trial," said Mugoša.

Jovanović commented that the court allowed the messages from July related to fuel, but he does not want to play the recordings.

10:10 Jovanovic suggested five more shots. All were rejected.

10:00 Katnić called to speak, the judge constantly warned him that he had no right to speak, but he continued to speak. "I presented one qualification here. You have to give me the floor because I have the procedural right to react to what you gave them to say. No one is offended here. I also participated in those Serbian games and played. It's a very nice custom. I would still be playing now if I wasn't in a rut. But that is one way of behaving and another is the one that is needed here in the courtroom. Do not allow a colleague. I like him, and I like it even more that he is from Koman, but he can't behave like this. Let him come as a witness and that's it," said Katnić.

9:45 The judge allowed a break, but it was not specified how long it would last.

9:45 a.m. Jovanovic reacted violently, saying that the prosecutor sent him serious insults. He asked for a break, asking to consult with the bar association in Novi Sad.

9:38 Judge Mugoša rejected this proposal as well, saying that the state of the water in Sinđelić's house has nothing to do with this criminal act.

9:35 a.m. Attorney Jovanović asked to play the video where it can be seen that there is no water in the house. "That's all the material submitted by the prosecution, it's not my fault that the prosecution didn't examine them in detail. There is no place in Podgorica and Novi Sad where there is no water in the houses. Also, that house belongs to a third party. I want to establish that - a potential false statement about the place of residence,'' added Jovanović.

9:30 a.m. "These recordings should show that Sinđelić had no place to sleep, so he slept in the car, and all this in connection with the messages: come home, don't drag yourself around," said Jovanović.

Mugoša rejected the proposal. "The recording will not be viewed due to respect for the right to privacy because the fact that the defense attorney wants to establish, whether Sinđelić slept in the car, has nothing to do with the activities of the accomplice witness in connection with the case where he testified," explained Mugoša.

9:25 a.m. Lawyer Miroje Jovanović asked to see a recording on Saša Sinđelić's laptop. In the middle, the video is mainly composed of screenshots and frames, said Jovanović.

Judge Suzana Mugoša pointed out that the Council will first look at the video and then decide whether it will be shown in court.

9:23 The accused Dikić had several questions for the expert. One of them is: can the Samsung Galaxy 6 phone update data in offline mode.

9:20 a.m. Attorney Jovović asked the expert to analyze the applications on the phone used by the accused Bratislav Dikić.
