Serbian journalist testifies Koluvija pressured her after Cepelin exposé

Former KRIK journalist Sara Smolović testified in Belgrade's Higher Court that Predrag Koluvija, on trial for heading an organized crime group, sent her private messages, invited her for a drink, and called her a 'good girl' roughly ten days after KRIK published its 'Cepelin' article. The testimony alleges witness intimidation or undue influence by a defendant in an active organized-crime trial, though the court has yet to rule on its significance. This is a notable development in Serbia's judicial handling of organized crime and press freedom.
