Arsic: The Court Panel and prosecution want to portray Djokovic as guilty for all events in Pec in 1999

Attorney Vasilije Arsic emphasized that today's witness in the case of Milorad Djokovic had not testified about the events covered by the Special Prosecutor's indictment and had not even been in Kosovo at the time of those events.

"Witnesses are mostly instructed by the prosecution to say what suits the prosecutor. Today's witness spoke about something unrelated to the events of 1999, he was not even present during the war. This witness testified only to create a stir, to make it seem like Djokovic is guilty in advance for something unrelated to the alleged crime. The witness did not speak about the act covered by the indictment. Instead, he spoke about his personal fears and how he left Kosovo and Metohija in 1999, not about the events in the indictment," Arsic stated.

As he pointed out, both the prosecution's and the court panel's questions were framed in a way that created the impression that Djokovic was responsible for everything that happened in Pec and Vitomirica in 1999.

"The questions from the Court Panel and the prosecution were designed to suggest that Djokovic is generally guilty for everything that happened in Pec and Vitomirica, rather than focusing on the specific case outlined in the indictment," Arsic added.

Another prosecution witness is set to testify later today, and Djokovic’s trial will continue tomorrow at 1 PM.
