12:12 The hearing scheduled for tomorrow is postponed. The next hearing is on June 4 at nine o'clock.

Brian Scott's hearing is likely to be on June XNUMX.

12:10 Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić said that the defense violated ethics and criminal procedure law today.

12:08 Lawyers Radosavljević, Jovanoić and Tomović ask questions to the expert.

11:40 Lawyer Jovanović said that today's bans are the most gross violation of the right to defense, which was carried out by the Council.

"Such action by the Council would give the right to all defenders to deny their presence in the further course of the proceedings, until the position of the court in relation to the defense and the Prosecution is harmonized. Guided by the interests of the four innocently accused citizens of the Republic of Serbia who are in custody, the interests of the innocently accused Branka Milić , the interests of the innocent accused Hristina Hristić, the interests of Andrija Mandić and Milan Knežević, the defense jointly took the position of pointing out this violation to the Council, and bearing in mind the importance of the facts that are proven from the device in question, which were not isolated. The defense finds it appropriate that today let's continue our work," said lawyer Jovanović.

11:30 Jovanović asked for a break, in order to consult with the defense, whether he will continue to participate in this post-navel.

"So that the public can see what an empty courtroom looks like," said Jovanović.

The judge adjourned until 11:40.

11:25 Lawyer Jovanović said that if the messages are not read, then he cannot file a report against Sinđelić for false testimony.

The court refuses to read the messages from Sinđelić's phone because, according to the court, they are "private in nature."

11:09 Sinđelić's message to the contact recorded as "Daca" will not be read, the judge said.

Lawyer Jovanović said that he does not know who "Daca" is and that he does not know with whom the cooperating witness communicated.

The judge told Katnić not to address Jovanović.

"What about the 35.000 euros that are in this court, that we looked at on the benches, that Sinđelić said were his and that he had been saving them for months," asks lawyer Jovanović.

10:39 The trial resumes at 11 a.m.

10:33 Jovanović wants to read the messages between Sinđelić and the person who was determined to be "Daca" because from those messages the financial condition of the associate witness can be determined, which is in contradiction with what he said on the nasty preters.

The court rejects Jovanović's proposal due to the protection of privacy.

10:28 Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić said that lawyer Jovanović threatened him with his finger. Judge Mugoša said that she saw the finger, but did not perceive it as a threat.

10:18 Jovanović said that Sinđelić is a political informer and that he was blackmailed with a prison sentence in Croatia.

He said that Sinđelic's phone "contains the numbers of members of the MUP of Serbia, the Gendarmerie and the Security Information Agency."

10:06 Attorney Jovanović suggests that "it would be very useful to find a piece of paper on which Željko Marković's number was stated", and the piece of paper was listed in the record that was separated in the case file.

"I want to find a piece of paper with Željko Marković writing on it. It is blue paper, and my source of knowledge is the minutes," said Jovanović.

Lawyer Jovanović asked to read the contact "Pera Lojač" from the phone "Cat", which has not yet been expertized.

9:55 The expert said that all data can be declared later.

9:50 Photos from the micro SD file are displayed. Lawyer Jovanović asked why there are no dates on some photos. He also asks why certain Viber chats are not available.

9:37 Evidence from the external hard drive continues. Defense attorney Radosavljević indicates that the third message from October 2016, XNUMX cannot be read, so he asks the expert if he can explain.

"I cannot comment on this issue today, given the scope of the expert testimony, and I would have to familiarize myself with the data in the particular phone in order to see the way messages were entered," said the expert.

9:33 Accused Maksić said that he came to Podgorica to celebrate the Ravnogorsk movement from Kolašin.

"I said that I came to the celebration, to the fiddler's evening, and what I later said about the promotion of the book is correct, it is possible that I omitted it in my defense, but it was also said that it would happen. The only thing they said was to organize Kolašin Plateau Movement.

9:17 Branka Milić said that, as far as she was concerned, this court proceeding was concluded.

She said that the list of confiscated objects did not include the book "Na nišanu" by Dragoljub Vasiljević, where the dedication from June 26, when, as she said, she met him, was written on top of Mliječnjak.

She added that she never said that the promotion of the book should have taken place in Podgorica. That, as she said, was what the accused Maksić always said.

He says that he was supposed to meet Vasiljević in Podgorica, in order to arrange the promotion of his book in Novi Sad.

"As I said, I received the information that I was going to meet with Vasiljević from Milan Pavasović. Vasiljević was in Mliječanjko with members of the Ravnogorsk Kolašin movement. That's when I met him. I don't know anything about Vasiljević apart from what I said and it was not strange for me to meet him in Podgorica, it was enough for me that he was a member of the Chetnik movement," Milić said.

She said she read his book.

"For me, Podgorica is absolutely irrelevant. I don't know why the court gives so much importance to Podgorica," she said.

9:14 Lawyer Miroje Jovanović said that it is true that he proposed to extract from the case files the records of searches of persons who were in the "Venecija" hotel. Lawyer Radosavljević said that the two phones were not examined, even though there was an order to do so.

9.10 Prosecutor Saša Čađenović said that he opposes the defense's request to conduct a DNA analysis of the banknotes that were taken from the accused Bratislava Dikić. He said that Dikić also used those banknotes

9.05 The request for the exemption of the chief special prosecutor Milivoj Katnić was rejected.

At 9 o'clock in the Podgorica High Court, the trial of those accused of attempted terrorism on the day of the parliamentary elections continued.

At the preliminary hearing, the defense requested the exemption of Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoj Katnić.

Russian citizens Eduard Šišmakov and Vladimir Popov, who are being tried in absentia, as well as Serbian citizens Nemanja Ristić and Predrag Bogićević, are charged before the panel of judge Suzana Mugoša for the criminal offense of attempted terrorism on the day of the parliamentary elections.

Bratislav Dikić, Democratic Front leaders Milan Knežević and Andrija Mandić and Mandić's driver Mihailo Čađenović are on the dock.

The indictment includes Serbian citizens Kristina Hristić and Branka Milić, who are defending themselves from freedom, as well as their compatriots - Srboljub Đorđević, Dragan Maksić, Milan Dušić who are in custody.

The proceedings were split against DF translator Anani Nikić.
