Following the news that the Higher Court in Novi Sad released Vesić, Tanasković, and some of the other defendants for the canopy collapse in Novi Sad, students in the blockade spoke out for Nova.rs, stating that this further erodes the trust of young people in institutions and that justice has once again failed to appear.

The students in the blockade, or a portion of them, could not hide their disappointment over the news that the Higher Court in Novi Sad released Vesić, Tanasković, and some of the other defendants for the canopy collapse in Novi Sad.

Helena Strugar, a student at the Faculty of Law in Belgrade who was expelled from Serbia, tells Nova.rs that what happened today in Novi Sad, where people from whom the public expected at least political or moral responsibility were released, further destroys the trust of young people in institutions.

“The release of Goran Vesić and today’s decision in Novi Sad are not a surprise, but rather another proof that institutions are captured. In the case of a tragedy with severe consequences, there was neither political nor moral responsibility, because the law obviously does not apply equally to everyone. While I was declared a threat to the security of the Republic of Serbia and its citizens and sanctioned with a ban on entering the country without any legal basis, those who were in positions of power have been cleared of all responsibility. In both cases, the explanation is the same – without basis, but with a clear political message,” she emphasizes.

She adds that what happened in Novi Sad is not just a court decision, but a symbol of selective justice and a system in which the law is applied according to the interests of individuals, and not according to truth and responsibility.

“Such decisions send a clear message that justice is not equal for everyone and that mistakes with serious consequences often remain without any responsibility for those at the top. If we cannot change the system quickly, then I at least expect institutions to start functioning the way they should – in the interest of citizens, and not individuals. Unfortunately, the current situation is such that what should be normal sounds like something unrealistic,” says this student.

A student from the Faculty of Organizational Sciences in Belgrade said briefly for our portal that he was left speechless and did not know what he could say to this statement.

“I am simply left without words. To an extent, I expected this, I admit, but there was still hope that the authorities would finally do their job properly. Still, I was mistaken. Corruption is everywhere, and what has happened now only shows what our legal system is like – non-existent. A shame,” he said.

Even students from the Novi Sad Faculty of Sciences could not hide their disappointment over the news that the Higher Court in Novi Sad released Vesić, Tanasković, and some of the other defendants for the canopy collapse in Novi Sad.

They wrote on the social network X that “in the Novi Sad court, blind justice wanders in the dark.”

Their colleagues from the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad also spoke out. They wrote that this is “just another message that the system does not apply equally to everyone.”

“The Higher Court in Novi Sad suspended the proceedings in the ‘canopy’ case. No one is responsible. There is no guilt. Just another message that the system does not apply equally to everyone,” the post reads.

“I just heard and I still can’t believe it. This government has truly hit rock bottom now. I don’t know what to say, I’m stunned. This is terrible!” a student from Novi Sad told Nova.rs.

As a reminder, the extra-trial chamber of the Higher Court in Novi Sad suspended the criminal proceedings today against Jelena Tanasković, Goran Vesić, Anita Dimoski, Milan Spremić, Marina Gavrilović, and Dejan Todorović in the “Canopy” case.

“The chamber found that there is not enough evidence for a justified suspicion that the named defendants committed the criminal acts that are the subject of the accusation,” states the court’s press release shared with journalists.
