  • Journalist Nedim Sejdinović criticized the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office, calling it a tool of the current regime.
  • He cited the office's handling of cases involving students allegedly using a sonic device and a murder on Senjak as examples of its failures.
  • Sejdinović believes the office is avoiding a thorough investigation into the protest incident.

Journalist Nedim Sejdinović has strongly criticized the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office, labeling it a "stick in the hands of this regime" and a "disgrace to the judiciary." His remarks specifically address the office's handling of two high-profile cases: accusations that students simulated a sonic device at a March 15 protest and the investigation into a murder on Senjak.

Sejdinović expressed his view that the prosecutor's office is deliberately sidestepping a genuine investigation into the events of the March 15 protest. He suggested that the current approach is a tactic to avoid uncovering the actual circumstances of what transpired during the demonstration.

The Higher Public Prosecutor's Office is a stick in the hands of this regime and a disgrace to the judiciary.

His comments highlight a deep-seated distrust in the impartiality and effectiveness of the judicial system, particularly concerning politically sensitive matters. The journalist's statement implies a pattern of behavior by the prosecution that serves the interests of the ruling power rather than seeking justice.

This is a way to avoid investigating what actually happened at that protest.
