N1 reports that the main trial is still awaited 21 months after 16 people died in the Novi Sad station canopy collapse. It also relays Radar's report about correspondence which, according to that outlet, points to work coordination by presidential-office staff; this is not a court finding.
Belgrade’s Third Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office opened a case after a complaint against SNS leader Miloš Vučević following N1’s report on cash payments to Arena rally participants. Prosecutors withheld procedural details, citing a risk to the inquiry into a possible offence.
Belgrade’s Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office said lawyer Vladimir Cvijan died by drowning and that no evidence of a crime was found; the case was archived in 2018. This is the office’s response to public murder claims, not a new court ruling.
N1 and Danas reported a new protest by residents of Niš’s Pantelej district over the planned high-speed rail route. Both note a response from the European bank; available material does not provide enough detail to state its substance or the project’s final status.
