Belgrade Bar Association

A bar association that, as of mid-March 2026, had not issued a statement on the detention of one of its members, a lawyer arrested over his posts, because, according to its president, a majority of the Executive Board did not vote for one. The public learned of the death of lawyer Vladimir Cvijan only in 2021, from a statement by the association's president, Jugoslav Tintor. Lawyer Čedomir Kokanović claims the association kept secret for three years a letter showing that Cvijan was dead, which Tintor denies.
