The trial of municipal president Jeličić began before this court in 2019. The judge would not let journalists in even though the public had not been excluded, and the victim's lawyer sought the recusal of the judge and the court president over what he described as their close ties to the defendant. The Supreme Court of Cassation moved the trial to Kruševac because of divisions in the town. After the verdict, the court rejected Jeličić's request to postpone serving his sentence.
