Since 2008, I have been the victim of an unprecedented lynching in which I continually present myself as a sociopath, a monster and a bully … This was the case in this case from a few days ago, said Miladin Kovačević (33) exclusively for Kurir . on Saturday he was released with a ban on communicating with Tijana T. and her sister.

Terrible campaign
Miladin Kovacevic tells our newspaper that this event is the continuation of an unprecedented campaign against him.
– I have been living under public scrutiny all these years and my every action has a negative connotation even when the facts are completely on my side. I absolutely hate violence against women and have always condemned it, but I also don’t allow anyone to build a reputation for themselves through my name or to put me in the context of a bully through alleged victimization. At the end of the day, everyone should be able to look in the mirror, I can do that, can you? – said Kovacevic.

Kovacevic denied in Saturday’s hearing that he abused and tortured Tijana T. and threatened her safety with threats, as he claimed. During his defense, he claimed that Tijana harassed him and added that she was not his girlfriend, but that they occasionally had intimate relationships.
“He admitted they were arguing and said that she was chasing him that night, banging on his door and harassing him, as well as hitting him with a bag and throwing a mobile phone at him when he opened the front door,” said a source in Kurir’s investigation.
Vera u system
Miladin’s defense lawyer Ivan Gvozdenac told Kurir that “such a court decision restores faith in the system and shows that Serbia is a state governed by the rule of law, that no one can denounce it without any proof”:
– The law is cruel, but it is the law, and it should be the same for everyone. This example shows that we all have the same treatment in court if we have paid our debt to society.

Police Director Vladimir Rebić declared yesterday that the case of intimate partner violence reported by Miladin Kovačević’s girlfriend was solved by the police. He said that the injured party called the Interior Ministry on September 16 at around 2:00 pm to report “that violence was committed against her.”
– The girls were found to have certain injuries, I think they were evaluated as minor. Injuries don’t have to be just physical, they can also be emotional. He added that Kovacevic was ordered not to approach the injured 50 meters until the end of the procedure, and that if he violated that measure, he would be detained.

Lawyer Jakša Peković, one of Kovačević’s defense lawyers, told Kurir that there was no reason to order the arrest of his client.
– The process against Miladin Kovacevic, which began in the media, shows the weakness of the criminal prosecution body, which goes as far as the willingness to propose detention in a situation in which there is no reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. act. In this case, by refusing to order custody, the court demonstrated that stigmatization of someone by the media is not a sufficient reason to order custody. The defense believes that the prohibition approach measure, which was determined in this particular case, is also superfluous, considering that we believe that the act was not committed at all – said Pekovic.
