Djordje Jokic9. January 2026.President of the Commission for the investigation of murders of journalists, Veran Matić, stated that he welcomes the ruling of the Supreme Court of Serbia, which established that the law was violated in two of the most important segments of the indictment and during the trial itself in the case concerning the murder of journalist Slavko Ćuruvija—specifically in relation to the testimony of a key witness. In the acquittal issued by the Appellate Panel, it was stated that the witness did not stand by his testimony during the trial, although the trial records clearly show the opposite—that he did remain consistent with his statements. The same violation of the law was also established with regard to the testimonies of four other witnesses.
