Head of cultural protection agency pleads guilty, court rejects detention request

It was on the basis of this document that the Serbian Government stripped the General Staff complex - previously used by the Army of Serbia and Montenegro and the Ministry of Defense - of its protected status, removing it from the national register of cultural assets.

According to unofficial information obtained by N1, the Prosecutor’s Office acted on an anonymous criminal complaint.

N1 has learned that the court rejected the request of the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime to detain Vasic. Instead, the court imposed only a restraining order, prohibiting him from contacting witnesses scheduled to testify in the case.

This practically means that Vasic has not been placed under house arrest or any form of detention.
