# Supreme Court

In 2025 it found that the acquittal in the murder of Slavko Ćuruvija involved a substantial violation of procedure in favour of the defendants, because the Court of Appeal had incorrectly presented the witnesses' testimony, but the acquittal remains in force. As the Supreme Court of Cassation it moved the trial of Jeličić from Brus to Kruševac, and before it are the defence's requests in the canopy collapse case, because of which the Novi Sad court is not scheduling the trial.
