Prosecutor Goran Ilić: The VJT in Novi Sad should not have dismissed the criminal complaint

According to reports in the media, the members of the Commission for the technical review of the works performed on the Novi Sad - Subotica railway did not perform a technical review. Railway stations in Novi Sad in accordance with the regulations and rules of the profession and despite this, they approved the trial operation of the station building in Novi Sad. If so, no dilemma yes Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Novi Sad should not have dismissed the criminal complaint against the members of the Commission for the technical review of the works performed on the Novi Sad - Subotica railway line, public prosecutor of the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office Goran Ilić tells "Vreme".

"In that sense, it doesn't matter whether the approval for the trial operation referred to the entire Railway Station or whether the temporary operation was supposed to enable connection to the electricity grid - the members of the Commission did not do what they were obliged to do as experts, and above all to check the condition of the structure during the technical inspection, that is, the stability of the building and the canopy," Ilić points out.

He points out that the fact that one public prosecutor's office rejects criminal charges against some persons, while another public prosecutor's office initiates criminal proceedings for the same event and against the same persons and orders the detention of those people, speaks of "the complete confusion that rules the Serbian public prosecutor's office."

"The fact that in such an important case, parts of a single state body make completely opposite decisions, confirms the general belief that the public prosecutor's office is in a deep crisis, which is produced primarily by the fact that only political henchmen are brought to important positions," emphasizes Ilić.

He states that he understands the students' basic request that the institutions do their work as a request for the public prosecutor's office to "start the wheels of justice, which is not possible without its complete personnel renewal."

"Without that, Serbia will continue to be a country where there are laws, but where there is no legality," concludes Ilić.
