Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Niš

For more than two years, it has kept the investigation into the death of a man held at a police station in Bor at the pre-investigation stage, claiming that the Internal Control Sector is not acting on its instructions. It has refused requests for information, including for the name of the prosecutor handling the case. The inquiry into whether the defendants' confessions to the murder of a girl were coerced has stalled in the same way. In 2024, it rejected the objection filed by the families of the miners killed at „Soko“, so the decision that no one is responsible for the accident stands.
