Mati\u0107 recalled that some witnesses had attempted to discredit those who pointed to possible links between the accused and the murder, to peculiar hearings with no clear meaning and visible objective, to time wasted on exhausting, irrelevant issues.<\/p>\n<p>In an article about the trial against those accused of murdering \u0106uruvija, weekly news magazine NIN presented new details indicating that both the investigation and the trial have been burdened by pressure placed on investigators and witnesses. Among other things, the NIN article states that some monitored conversations indicate that there were also plans to murder Dragan Kecman, the inspector who uncovered key evidence regarding the involvement of the accused in \u0106uruvija\u2019s murder. According to NIN, Kecman was reassigned two years ago, replaced without clear explanation from his position as the head of the Directorate for Fighting Organised Crime (UBPOK).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 1, 2018 Veran Mati\u0107, president of the Commission for the Investigation of the Murder of Journalists in Serbia, assessed that the
