Hundreds of people demonstrated this Monday in Belgrade against the decision of the appeal court, which on Friday acquitted four former intelligence agents convicted in first instance for the death of an opposition journalist in 1999.
The victim, Slavko Kuruvija, owner and editor-in-chief of the newspaper Dnevni telegraf and the magazine Evropeiski, publications associated with the opposition, was one of the most influential critical voices in Serbia in the 1990s.
Kuruvija was shot dead in front of his apartment in Belgrade on April 11, 1999. At the time, Serbia remained under NATO bombing, a military intervention justified by the Slobodan Milosevic regime’s repression of the armed independence movement of Kosovo Albanians, then a southern province of Serbia.
