Amidst renewed discussions about a sonic cannon and the Serbian president's potential resignation and call for elections, the "Senjak" case, involving former Belgrade police chief Veselin Milić as a suspect in a serious criminal offense, has largely faded from public discourse. This situation raises questions about transparency and the handling of high-profile investigations.
Concerns have been voiced regarding contradictory procedures and statements emanating from the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade concerning the investigation into the serious murder case on Senjak. Legal expert Borivoje Borović is expected to provide insights into these complexities.
Adding to the institutional turmoil, four independent members of the Council of the Regulatory Body for Electronic Media (REM), who had previously resigned, have refused to rejoin the process for the selection and completion of this body responsible for media oversight. This refusal further complicates the functioning of the media regulatory authority.
The program also revisits the first attempt to organize "Pajda" in Serbia on this day in 2001. That event was marred by a violent attack on participants, becoming a painful and traumatic symbol of the struggle for LGBT+ rights in the country.
