Jelena Zorić: Forging signatures is pure organized crime

"I see that the GIK is completely uninterested in this case, no state body such as the Ombudsman, the Commissioner, the Prosecutor's Office advertises itself."

Now he speaks publicly about all the crimes he participated in and knows about systematically, meticulously and cold-bloodedly, as if digging a hole for the members of the Belivuk-Miljković clan.

The trial of the Belivuk-Miljković clan: "And then Belivuk cut off the victim's head with an ax..."

After a year and more than eight months since the arrest, the trial of the Belivuk - Miljković clan can be followed by the public. Except for the accomplice witnesses, all the defendants, who are charged with seven murders, rape, drug and weapons dealing, denied their guilt. While the prosecutor read the indictment, the defendants yawned and even dozed off
