Minister of Culture Nikola Selakovic arrived shortly before 10 a.m. at the Special Court, where the continuation of the trial in the "General Staff" case is scheduled.
The defendants in the proceedings include Minister of Culture Nikola Selakovic, Secretary of the Ministry of Culture Slavica Jelaca, Acting Director of the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments Goran Vasic, and Acting Director of the Belgrade Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments Aleksandar Ivanovic.
The prosecution is seeking three years in prison for Selakovic and Vasic, two and a half years for Slavica Jelaca, and one and a half years for Ivanovic.
At today’s hearing, the defendants are expected to present their defense, while at the previous hearing their lawyers gave opening statements.
At the hearing on February 4th, the defendants stated that they understood the indictment in a grammatical sense, but not its substance, and they denied guilt.

Selakovic was questioned on December 4 last year at the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime, after which he stated that the charges were politically motivated.
His lawyer, Vladimir Djukanovic, then stated that he had requested the suspension of proceedings from the prosecution, emphasizing that a new law had been adopted in the National Assembly declaring null and void the 2005 decision that designated the General Staff building as a cultural monument.
The Minister of Culture decided not to invoke immunity at the trial in the General Staff case, although he has that right as a minister. It is up to the Government of Serbia to decide whether to grant him protection retroactively or lift his immunity.
