Twenty-one months on: trial still awaited
N1 (1 August) says the Novi Sad Court of Appeal confirmed the indictment against Jelena Tanasković, Goran Vesić, Anita Dimoski, Milan Spremić, Marina Gavrilović and Dejan Todorović. Citing Radar, it relays claims about correspondence by presidential-office staff around the reconstruction and notes that TOK is examining alleged financial abuses in the project.
Overall takeaway
The proceedings and investigation continue; new media claims about political coordination should be distinguished from facts established in court.
