The trial for the fall of the canopy at the Railway Station in Novi Sad will not begin yet. The lawyers of Goran Vesić, Anita Dimoski and Jelena Tanasković submitted requests to the Supreme Court for the protection of legality
The beginning of the trial in the proceedings against 13 persons accused of the fall of the canopy at the Railway Station in Novi Sad, in which 16 people died, will not be scheduled until the Supreme Court decides on the requests for protection of legality.
The request was submitted by the lawyers of the former Minister of Construction, Transport and Infrastructure Goran Vesić, former assistant in that ministry Anita Dimoski and former director of "Serbian Railway Infrastructure" Jelena Tanasković, was confirmed to Insider in the High Court in Novi Sad.
Their defense is contesting the decision of the Appellate Court in Novi Sad, which on June 15 confirmed the indictment, and re-included Vesić, Dimoski and Tanasković, as well as Milan Spremić, Marina Gavrilović and Dejan Todorović in the proceedings.
The High Court in Novi Sad received the decision of the Appellate Court almost a month after its adoption, on July 13. The court then formed a case and appointed judge Sinisa Nadrljanski as the president of the future court panel.
However, the preliminary hearing has not yet been scheduled. As stated in the High Court, the case will first be submitted to the Supreme Court in order to decide on the extraordinary legal remedy submitted by the defense of Vesić, Dimoski and Tanasković.
In the High Court, they explain that, although it is an extraordinary legal remedy, it is necessary to wait for the decision of the Supreme Court, because the requests relate to the decision confirming the indictment, that is, to the moment when the criminal proceedings move into the trial phase.
The Code of Criminal Procedure provides for a period of 60 days between the receipt of a confirmed indictment and the scheduling of a preliminary hearing. However, in this case, that deadline did not lead to the scheduling of a hearing, because the court first expects the decision of the Supreme Court.
In June, the Court of Appeals changed the earlier decision of the High Court and, accepting the prosecution's appeal, returned to the indictment six persons who had previously been exempted from criminal prosecution. In addition to Vesić, Dimoski and Tanasković, Spremić, Gavrilović and Todorović are again included.
The indictment includes a total of 13 persons, who are charged with various criminal offenses in connection with the fall of the canopy at the Railway Station in Novi Sad.
Vesić, Tanasković, Dimoski and Nebojša Šurlan, the former director of the "Serbian Railway Infrastructure", are charged with a serious crime against general security in connection with causing a general danger.
The other defendants are Slobodan Naumović, Milan Jelkić, Ljiljana Milić Marković, Milan Spremić, Jasna Stojiljković Milić, Zorica Slavković Marjanović, Dušan Janković, Marina Gavrilović and Dejan Todorović, and they are charged with a serious crime against general safety in connection with improper and irregular construction works.
