He was also sentenced to a four-year driving ban while he was released from prison.
Yesterday, Mihailović was released from Central Prison under house arrest in Veliki Crljeni with electronic surveillance, where he will be until the verdict is final.
The court found him guilty because he endangered the lives of several people in a state of severe alcoholism and driving at least 117 kilometers per hour.
At that time, four young people were killed in a collision between a BMW car he was driving and a “Dacia” taxi, while three people were seriously injured and one slightly injured.
FROM THE TRAFFIC EXPERTS
MARIJA Savatić, the mother of the murdered driver of the “dacia” Aleksandar, was outraged by the experience:
– I’m not saying that my son is not to blame either, but the experts from the Faculty of Transportation did not even go to the field, but they examined the video. Alexander missed a vehicle and turned slowly, but it sped up with incredible speed. Our children’s lives are worth a year.

The judge stated that Mihailović did not deny that he was drinking before the accident and that he was driving fast.
However, so that his punishment is not stricter, also influenced by the fact that traffic experts said that Aleksandar Savatić, the driver of the “dacia”, who merged onto the highway without stopping, also bears part of the responsibility for cause the accident.
– The crossing did not have a “stop” sign, but the driver of the “dacia” had to observe the direction from which the BMW was coming – said the judge in the explanation.
– If I had done that, I would have noticed the lights on the BMW. Its omission is the initial cause of the dangerous situation.
Likewise, the accused was greeted by a car with the lights on, which prevented him from seeing the “dacia” before, but also contributed to the dangerous situation with his speed, because if he had driven 50 kilometers per hour, he could have avoided the accident .
DESTROYED OUR LIVES
MAJA Ivanković, the mother of the late Katarina, who was in the car with Mihailović, wept in the courtroom:
– He took everything from us, ruined our lives. Not just us, but all these families, and he received four years. His friend, who was driving behind him at the time, said later that he was moving at 170 kilometers per hour, without seeing Mihailović in front, which means he was driving 200. I am going to sue Mihailović’s lawyer, because he said that Katarina was his girlfriend. . She saw him for the second time in her life and went out for a drink with them, because her friend called her. They weren’t having fun, Katarina had another boyfriend.
As mitigating circumstances, Mihailović took, as the judge said, a sincere remorse and regret, that he is a young man and is not convicted.
The parents of the victims were disappointed with the sentence. The grandmother of the late Katarina Ivanković, leaving the courtroom, shouted: “What a shame, this is a shame, murderer, you killed Katarina!” Mihailović simply lowered his head and ran to the other door of the room in front of the guards.
