Belgrade Bar Association Board Member Claims Police Allowed Lawyer's Attack

Jovan Rajić, a member of the Belgrade Bar Association's Administrative Board, has asserted that individuals who assaulted lawyer Cvejić were permitted to carry out the attack. Rajić's statement implies a significant lapse in security and law enforcement's ability to protect legal professionals.

Rajić further claimed that the police possessed the means to identify all the perpetrators involved in the assault. This suggests that the failure was not one of capability but potentially of will or procedure, raising serious questions about the accountability of those responsible for maintaining order and safety.

The lawyer's alleged beating and Rajić's subsequent accusations highlight tensions between the legal community and authorities in Belgrade. The statement underscores concerns about the safety of lawyers and the integrity of the justice system when such incidents occur without immediate and decisive action.
