The Court Scandal Shaking Serbia!
Have you heard about the Belgrade Higher Court ruling that just set the media world on fire? Marko Miljković, known for his controversies, sued Kurir and its responsible editor Rajko Nedić for allegedly violating the presumption of innocence. But the court’s decision? Partial at best!
What Happened?
Miljković demanded a hefty compensation for mental anguish and damage to his honor, but the court dismissed his claim against Rajko Nedić. Still, Kurir was ordered to pay a symbolic 30 dinars plus legal interest — basically pocket change for a media giant.
Why Does It Matter?
This ruling casts a shadow over media freedom in Serbia. Is this an attempt to silence criticism or just a legal game? Kurir must publish the ruling excerpt on its website, which will surely stir up a storm of comments.
What Do Experts Say?
Legal experts say this kind of decision is rare and could set a dangerous precedent for future cases. Will this encourage others to sue media outlets for similar reasons?
The Bottom Line
The court handed down a verdict that’s neither a full win nor a total loss for either side. But one thing’s clear — Serbia’s media scene has never been this heated.
