"Appreciating the seriousness, nature and manner of committing the criminal offense, i.e. that the defendants are reasonably suspected of having conspired and planned to commit the criminal offense for which they are suspected in this proceeding during the protest under the slogan '15 for 15' in Belgrade, and that it is a well-known fact that the protests of students and other citizens have been going on since the beginning of November 2024, continuously, and they are still going on, that is, such protests are held almost every day, the panel found that all the above-mentioned circumstances indicate a well-founded fear that the defendants, if they were released, could repeat the criminal offense in a short period of time".
As it is added, the panel also considered the application of some of the milder measures provided for in the provisions of the CPC, but it is of the opinion that the intensity of the special circumstances is still such that it has not decreased, which is why in this particular case, detention is still the only adequate and expedient measure.
