Indictment raised in Ćuruvija case

BELGRADE -- The indictment for the murder of Slavko Ćuruvija has been raised 15 years after the journalist and publisher was shot and killed outside his home in Belgrade.

The accused are former members of the State Security (DB) Radomir Marković, Milan Radonjić, Ratko Romić, and Miroslav Kurak.

The State Broadcasting Agency said it was investigating whether to sanction television stations Pink, B92, Prva and Happy because they hosted Kristijan Golubovic, a well-known criminal who is now trying to make a reputation as a visual artist, as a guest on their shows.

Despite statements from the Belgrade government that resolving the killing of the former premier would be a condition laid down in the rule-of-law section of Serbia’s EU accession negotiations, the European Commission said on Wednesday that individual cases will not be used as benchmarks.
