Deputy State Prosecutor Saša Čađenović, after conducting evidentiary proceedings against former construction inspector Vladan Juretić and his boss Vlatko Vučinić, changed the indictment and charged them with the criminal offense of abuse of office.

The prosecutor's office now accuses them of 09.11.2006. as officials of the Secretariat for Planning and Spatial Planning, Vučinić as the head of the building inspection and Juretić as the building inspector, according to a previous agreement, unlawfully using their positions to cause damage to others.

As Čeđenović said, they did this because they did not follow the decision of the Ministry of Spatial Planning and Environmental Protection dated 14/10/2005, which annulled the construction inspection's decision of 22.08/2005 due to lack of jurisdiction. In 162, about the demolition of a XNUMX-meter-long fence owned by KIPS, which was built on two plots near Tuzi.

They did not, as the prosecutor says, deliver the case files to the Republic Inspector for Railway Traffic as the actual authority, but Juretić, with the consent and approval of Vučinić, issued a decision on 09.11.2006 by exceeding his authority. which orders the demolition of that building "even though he was not responsible for the supervision of that building, on 11.11.2006/10.073/XNUMX they demolished the fence, causing damage to KIPS of XNUMX euros".

Juretić requested a postponement of the trial due to a change in the qualification of the criminal offense charged against them and proposed new evidence, some of which the judge had previously rejected.

"The verdict of the Constitutional Court and the Administrative Court is a very relevant piece of evidence for me," Juretić said.

While speaking, Vučinić whispered to him, "don't ask for an adjournment, it's a minor crime," while their lawyer also didn't know whether to ask for an adjournment to give closing arguments. Although all three were in disagreement, judge Maja Zeković postponed the continuation of the trial until February 23.

They previously denied their guilt, and Juretić submitted his closing statements in written form, which were written on dozens of pages.
