Court of Appeal in Belgrade

The appellate court that had the final say in a series of politically sensitive cases. In the Ćuruvija case, it overturned the first verdict, and in 2023 it acquitted all four defendants with final effect. It published the verdict only after ten months, and the Supreme Court later found a substantial violation of procedure in it. In 2021, it released Koluvija from the Jovanjica case into house arrest, it overturned the confirmation of the Belgrade indictment over the collapse of the canopy in Novi Sad three times, and it also overturned the first-instance verdict against Dijana Hrkalović.
