In the High Court in Podgorica, the continuation of the trial of the defendants Radovan Mujović and Vasilij Rafailović and the other defendants was postponed until Thursday.
The president of the special panel of judges, Igor Đuričković, accepted the defense lawyer's proposal to postpone the main trial. The defendants protested, stating that they have been in custody for a long time and without a verdict.
"You're holding us hostage. You're delaying everything, we'll wait three and a half years to get out of custody," the indignant defendant said.
Lawyer Marije Šaranović suggested that the hearing be postponed, and she attended the trial by proxy. She stated that the lawyer she represents needs more time to familiarize herself with the case files.
Judge Igor Đuričković said that there is enough time until tomorrow when the trial is scheduled to continue.
The judge stated that the special prosecution submitted "Sky" correspondence as evidence related to the acts in the indictment, and that this could also be a reason for postponing the hearing. Defense lawyers pointed out that although they do not have access to that material, the hearing can be held.
