They must not be seen for selling "weed": The High Court in Bijelo Polje left in force the supervision measures against the defendant

The Higher Court in Bijelo Polje rejected the defense attorney's appeal. SD and left in effect a supervision measure prohibiting him from approaching or meeting with minors KM, in proceedings against him on suspicion of repeatedly selling him marijuana.

On July 27, the court ruled that the further duration of the measure, which was initially imposed on the suspect in September last year and last extended on July 20, was justified.

The Bijelo Polje Security Department will monitor compliance with the ban, and the defendant has been warned that he may be detained if he violates the measure.

He is charged with committing a criminal offense - unauthorized production, possession and distribution of narcotic drugs.

According to the court ruling, the minor KM told the prosecutor's office that he had tried marijuana for the first time a few months earlier and that he had bought it from SD. He stated that he then made a joint from the amount he received.

The minor, it is alleged, also said that in the next three months he purchased marijuana from SD nine or ten times, paying between ten and 20 euros, depending on the quantity.

He claimed that he could have made one or two joints from the marijuana he purchased.

According to his statement, he made his last purchase on July 20, 2025, between 18 and 19 p.m., when he paid ten euros for marijuana.

"As always, he came to the door of his house, he did not enter the house, but would just appear at the front door and he handed him the drugs, and he gave him the money. In the last month, more precisely since he was on vacation and staying with his father in the Loznice settlement, he often used marijuana, one joint once or twice a week. D. called him by phone, when he did not have his own phone, he would sometimes call him from his friends' phones," the juvenile's statement states.

The case files also include a statement from the minor's father, who said that he noticed that his son was often absent from home, which is why the parents decided to test him for drugs.

The test, it says, was conducted on July 21, 2025, and the laboratory results from the Bijelo Polje General Hospital showed that the minor tested positive for marijuana.

SD's defense attorney appealed and requested the termination of the supervision measure, claiming that the first-instance decision was based on incorrectly and incompletely established facts and that significant violations of criminal procedure had been committed.

The High Court Panel, however, assessed that the previous decision provided clear and valid reasons for extending the measure, as well as that there was a reasonable suspicion that the defendant committed the criminal offense he was charged with.

The court also stated that it follows from the file that SD and the minor had had contact before, which is why the ban on their meeting and contact is justified in order to prevent possible obstruction of criminal proceedings or possible repetition of the criminal offense.

It is explained that the measure may last as long as there is a need for it, at the latest until the final conclusion of the criminal proceedings, and the court will review its justification every two months.

"After that, he occasionally bought the same type of narcotic drug from the same person several times, sometimes for one joint, sometimes for two, depending on how much he bought, he paid from 10 to 20 euros," the juvenile's statement reads.

Not to obstruct criminal proceedings

Contrary to the appeal allegations of the defendant's defense attorney, the correct conclusion is that in addition to the existence of reasonable suspicion in this specific case, there are other circumstances that justify imposing the measure, according to the Bijelo Polje court.

"Namely, the defendant is reasonably suspected of having sold an undetermined amount of narcotics to a minor, KM, and the case file shows that they had previous contacts, which all justifies imposing a supervision measure prohibiting access to or meeting with KM, in order to prevent any possibility of obstruction of the criminal proceedings," the judges explain.
