Helena Strugar, a student at the Belgrade Faculty of Law, was banned from entering Serbia, which, as she assessed in a statement to FoNet, continues her illegal pressure and persecution.
Helena Strugar is a Serb from Montenegro who was informed on April 16th at the Dobrakovo border crossing that her name was in a system that prohibits her entry into Serbia.
In a written statement by Helena Strugar and her family, it was stated that she was detained in the official premises for more than an hour on that occasion, with the explanation that they were waiting for further instructions from superiors and that they did not know the legal basis for such a ban.
They assess that such abuse of authority is indicatively linked to the brutal attack by masked thugs on her colleagues on January 13th, when she tried to protect them by standing between them. On that occasion, she herself was injured, receiving a strong punch, as a result of which her nail plate was torn off with profuse bleeding.
As Helena and her family state, at that dramatic moment, she managed to film the faces of the attackers with her phone, which served the prosecution as key evidence in prosecuting the thugs.
According to her, after that attack, she was constantly subjected to pressure while giving a statement to the police – to the extent that they tried to change her statement while typing the text in order to alter the undisputed facts. She prevented this by demanding to read the text of the statement before signing it.
On February 7th, Helena Strugar traveled to Serbia at the invitation of the competent prosecutor’s office to testify as a witness and injured party, which she did despite, as she stated, the provocations and pressure from the defendants’ lawyers to change her testimony.
They, as she stated, published a lie that she and her sister were connected to a criminal clan and to people who, as she added, they had never met.
Helena Strugar stated that on April 22nd, she arrived at the same border crossing at the entrance to Serbia, and after an hour of waiting, she was handed a decision refusing her entry into Serbia without any explanation, but the item related to the “security of the Republic of Serbia and its citizens” was circled.
“We will certainly seek the responsibility of all competent authorities who participated in this severe persecution and abuse,” Helena Strugar and her parents state.
