To farmer Jovan Radojčić from Ašanje the prosecutor ordered House arrest, so as not to influence the witnesses, reports 021.
Radojčić, who is accused of inflicting serious bodily injuries in the attempt, was heard on Wednesday (July 23) in the Basic Court in Ruma.
A few days ago, he hit a man with a car, whom he claims was sent to intimidating his family.
The court rejected the motion to order him detention and believes that the ban on leaving the apartment and the ban on approaching two witnesses, the victim and another man, are sufficient.
Knife attack at support protest
Residents of Ašanje gathered in front of the entrance to the Basic Court to express their support for the arrested neighbor.
Citizens were invited to the protest by Jovan's father, Zoran Radojčić, who claims that the local authorities want to commit a certain "criminal act" to his son.
At that meeting an unknown man pulled a knife on the crowd, announced N1.
In the video published on social networks, it can be seen that the man allegedly attacked a man and two women, and then the others present, including military veterans, overpowered him until the arrival of the police, who took him into custody.
Case history
The Radojičić family from Ašanje near Pećinac grows watermelons and is the owner of the company "Euro fruit".
In statements to the media, they claim that they were threatened by "local criminals", that they were physically attacked and intimidated. According to them, this has happened before, but the pressure is greater since they supported the students.
They stated that they were under pressure from local strongman Milorad Pantić Luki, who, according to their story, sent a "colleague" to intimidate Radojčić on Saturday (July 19). On that occasion, he toured in front of their family home.
Jovan Radojčić then hit that man with his car.
On the video that is circulating in the local media, it can be seen that before that, a man in black with a cap attacked the car with a bat. He has minor injuries, and Jovan escaped from arrest.
Call for help, escape and surrender
Earlier that day, Jovan had sent a video to Nova television newsroom in which he begged for help, and on Sunday morning he was not at the address, that media reported.
The police came to arrest him for, as they told his parents, endangering public order and peace.
"My son is not here right now because he went by car after that local criminal to ask what it was about. He came out with a bat and he hit it with the car for fear of running away. Yesterday, the criminal was diagnosed with minor injuries, but today they wrapped it up as an injury of I don't know what. The police are coming to get his car today, they are arresting us," Zoran Radojčić, Jovan's father, said on Monday (July 21) to Nova television.
Radojčić is convinced that the police, that is, Milorad Pantelić Luki, is putting the greatest pressure on him, his family and his business right now when the watermelons are blooming, because it is a business they have been developing for decades. They export watermelons to Western Europe and produce 30 percent for the domestic market.
Jovan spoke to a police officer on the phone through his father, after which he turned himself in to the Pećinci police station on Monday (July 21), which was confirmed by lawyer Ljiljana Borović Marjanović.
They were previously visited by the tax police
The tax police checked the work of the Radojicic family company on Friday, July 18. According to the words of Jovan's father, Zoran Radojčić, "after hours of combing" she found nothing objectionable.
Already on Saturday this family was attacked and threatened by "local criminals".
"The same criminals who tried to extort us two years ago," Zoran Radojčić told FoNet at the time, stressing that his family has been fighting with local party leaders for years.
Radojčić said after the incident that he was afraid for his safety and that he would seek protection, which he did after the investigation.
"I am afraid for my family. They are threatening us with death. I have three children at home, three grandchildren and a wife," said Radojčić at the time.
In the meantime, he received phone threats that he should leave the country, Radojčić said on Saturday.
