It was not disputed between the litigants that the defendant Mreia za istraiivan.|e
kriminala i korupcije is the publisher of the lnternet portal Krik, that the defendant Stevan
Dojtinovii is the editor-in-chief of the said portal and the defendant Milica Vojinovii is a
journalist of the Krik portal, at the time when the text in question was published.
From the testimony of the plaintiff, it was established
that he does not dispute that
the defendant, Milica Vojinovii, faithfully conveyed the content of the wiretapped
conversations that were heard as part of the evidentiary proceedings at the main trial, which
was followed by the defendant as a journalist. The plaintiff does not know the persons whose
wiretapped conversation was overheard during the criminal proceedings, nor is he in any
relationship with the persons from the mobster world. Not a single criminal proceeding was
conducted against him, not even in connection with the allegations from the mentioned text.
"Krik" contacted the plaintiff on his official email on April 8, 2021 at 05:28 p.m. at the end of
working hours, the text was published on April, 09 early in the morning and updated
thereafter. The next time journalists spoke to him at 2:33 p.m., but Siven that the text had
already been published, he did not want to comment on it. He was particularly influenced by
the tltle ofthe text itself and the comment in the frame ofthe text that the expression "to be
on the cauldron" means that a person receives money from someone, and what was
published after the quote "who will kill him", tells Zoraja to Neikovii. Due to the publication
of the title of the text and the journalist's comments within the text explaining the meaning
of the expression "to be on the cauldron", the plaintiff felt particularly affected considering
the function he performs, because the title of the text prejudges that one of the Iargest
criminal groups is protected by politicians and that he is corrupt and that he protects them.
Considering that he is the head of the body dealing with the suppression of organized crime
in Serbia, and that he is the head of the Security lnformation Agency, as a result of the
published information among his employees, his authority has been injured and the question
is how he can restore it afterwards. As the text was read by a large number of people, the
plaintiff had a large number of calls with various questions, and in connection with these
allegations, which primarily refers to people from Kruievac, where he was born, where his
family lives and who know the circumstances in that city. For the plaintiff personally, the text
was devastating because he is labeled as a corrupt person. The court assessed the testimony
of the plaintiff as clear, categorical and concise and ac&pted it as such.
From the testimony of the defendant, Milica Vojinovii, it was established that
the publication of the text in question, she attended the trial against Zoran Jotii's
which wiretapped conversations were played, including the conversation of Saia
