Cousins defended themselves with a car and a knife

Two cousins, Djezajr Kjazimoski and Demis Kazimoski, are no longer facing legal proceedings after the prosecution withdrew charges of attempted murder and causing general danger. The decision came more than a year after their trial began, offering them freedom from a case that had kept them detained since June of the previous year.

Initially, the 50-year-year-old Demis Kazimoski was accused of attempting to run over Haris Maksutoski and Omar Šerifoski with a Fiat Stilo in the parking lot of the Adria Terminali Logistics Center. The indictment alleged reckless driving and circling the parking lot as a means of intimidation and revenge.

The dispute between the Macedonian nationals reportedly involved a construction scaffold, a coffee machine, and financial matters. Following an expert's assessment that the actions constituted self-defense, the prosecutor decided to drop the case, releasing the two men from the judicial process.
