On 16 June, the Belgrade high court acquitted a group of six anarchists of charges that they caused a general danger to society by with throwing Molotov cocktails at the embassy of Greece. “The basis for acquittal is the legal, not political. It is not proven that the accused committed the crime,” said the judge Dragomir Gerasimovi.
The six members of the Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative (ASI), Sanja Dojkic, 20, Tadej Kurepa, 25, Nikola Mitrovic, 30, Ivan Savic, 26, Ratibor Trivunac, 28, and Ivan Vulovic, 25, had spent six months in prison (August 2009-February 2010) while awaiting trial. They were initially accused of “international terrorism” – for causing an estimated 18 euros of damage to the front of the embassy building.
The ASI now plan to sue their prosecutors and to publish the court documents.
