The Slavo Ćuruvija Foundation tells "Vreme" that the new lawsuit represents a continuation of pressure on the Foundation named after the murdered Slavko Ćuruvija, but also a continuation of the persecution of the murdered journalist, a quarter of a century after the murder
After the lawsuit filed by the former head of the Belgrade center of the State Security Department, Milan Radonjić, the "Slavko Ćuruvija" foundation was sued by another one of the former defendants for the murder of Slavko Ćuruvija, who was acquitted due to a lack of evidence by the decision of the Court of Appeal.
In question is Miroslav Kurak, who was on the run throughout the trial, that is, living in Africa
As in the case of Radonjić, the lawsuit refers to a statement in which the foundation expressed disagreement with the verdict. Due to the injury to his reputation and honor, Kurak is also demanding compensation of 500.000 dinars from the foundation.
Miroslav Kurak was accused as the immediate perpetrator of the murder of Slavko Ćuruvija on April 11, 1999. Throughout the trial, which began in 2015, Kurak was on the run, so he was tried in absentia.
The Slavo Ćuruvija Foundation told "Vreme" that the new lawsuit represents a continuation of pressure on the Foundation named after the murdered Slavko Ćuruvija, but also a continuation of the persecution of the murdered journalist, a quarter of a century after the murder.
After two first-instance verdicts in which the four previously accused were found guilty and the final acquittal due to lack of evidence in February of this year, the crime against the journalist and owner of Dnevni Telegraf and Europljanin remains unpunished and unsolved.
The Foundation adds that despite the pressures, the mission remains the same, insisting on justice for the murdered journalists, as well as all media workers who suffer violence, threats and pressures because of their work.
Journalist and owner of the newspapers "Dnevni telegraf" and "Europljanin" Slavko Ćuruvija was killed with multiple shots in 1999 in front of the building where he lived in Svetogorska street in Belgrade.
