VJT cites lawful evidence in the 'sound cannon' case as lawyer seeks documents
In the 'sound cannon' case, VJT said Military Police obtained evidence under an order by a Higher Court judge in Belgrade. Lawyer Rastko Naumov is demanding publication of two minutes on which prosecutors base suspicion that device use was simulated on March 15, 2025, and says those minutes concern security threats around Autokomanda rather than proving VJT's version. Kurir, by contrast, frames the story as a debunked affair and a sign that pressure on Serbia is weakening.

VJT: Military Police acted lawfully in the sound-cannon and military-analyst case
(VJT o slučaju zvučni top i vojnom analitičaru: Vojna policija postupala u skladu sa zakonom)
Danas carries the Belgrade Higher Public Prosecutor's Office statement from June 24: in the pre-investigation procedure in the 'sound cannon' case involving suspect A.R., prosecutors say Military Police obtained evidence under an order by a preliminary-proceedings judge of the Higher Court in Belgrade. VJT insists the action was lawful; the claim follows searches and a public dispute over what supports the prosecution's version that device use was simulated.

'Sound cannon' case: lawyer seeks publication of evidence, says minutes do not support prosecutors
(Slučaj "zvučni top": Advokat traži objavu dokaza, tvrdi da zapisnici ne potvrđuju navode tužilaštva)
021, citing Insajder, writes that lawyer Rastko Naumov called on VJT to publish both documents on which it bases suspicion that the 'sound cannon' was simulated at the March 15, 2025 protest. Naumov, who represents a student questioned after police entered the Faculty of Philosophy, says the documents are two minutes from an umbrella security working group where the device is mentioned only in a few sentences as a potential threat at an Autokomanda gathering. He argues that the documents do not prove VJT's version and do not relate to March 15, and also questions whether seized binders were opened without Mihajlo Sredanovic present.

Kurir: A debunked alleged sound-cannon affair has weakened the blockers' arguments
(PUKLA BLOKADERSKA TAKTIKA! Raskrinkana afera "zvučni top" srušila im plan da obezbede pritisak na Srbiju iz inostranstva)
Kurir publishes a pro-government framing: it says the 'debunked affair' over alleged 'sound cannon' use weakens the possibility of foreign pressure on Serbia. The article argues that as international assessments increasingly view Serbia's policy as independent and rational, external support for blockades may weaken; Kurir's interlocutors present the case as part of the authorities' opponents' political tactics.
