He announced it yesterday in his closing speech before the panel of judges of the Court of Appeals, which closed the appeals session.
The chairman of the Appeals Court panel, Judge Zoran Smolović, explained that the parties will receive the decision of that court through the Podgorica High Court, and if they decide to overturn the verdict, the parties will receive a subpoena.
