The trial in Ivanovic's murder case is fined by the lawyer who sent the intern to replace him.

Because lawyer Vasic, for representation at the June 12th 2024 session, had authorised his office's intern, Goran Mitrovich, had stopped trying to kill Serbian politician Oliver Ivanovic.

So, at Thursday's session, attorney Vasic priorly apologized and admitted his mistake, reports the “Justice Trust”.

Your Honor, I made a mistake yesterday. I thought the offense was punishable in five years and my intern could replace me. But, I admit he couldn't have replaced me at yesterday's session and it's exclusively my mistake that the session failed yesterday. I will accept the court's decision without any kind of complaint”, Vasic said.

Later, the case's judge, Valon Kurtaj, fined the amount of 350 euros.

In addition, the court has cautioned against defendant Silvana Arsovic, lawyer Musa Damati, because the same man appeared late in the session. Lawyer Damati argued the delay by saying that it was not deliberate and that there was a case in the family and the cause of traffic.

The session is continuing.
