A Month Later: BiH Court Still Hasn't Scheduled Hearing for Zubac

The BiH Court still has no information on when the hearing for Goran Zubac, where he will enter his plea, will be scheduled, writes the Patria News Agency. After the members of the Independent Board of the BiH Parliament also did not put Zubac's dismissal on the agenda, it is clear that the BiH Court is also favouring Zubac.

We remind you that an indictment was filed against Zubac, the Director of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA), on June 16, and the BiH Court officially announced this news on June 23. A month has passed since the indictment was confirmed, and the hearing for entering a plea has not yet been scheduled.

As we were told by the BiH Court, the deadline for scheduling the hearing for entering a plea is 15 days from the date the parties receive the summons.

- We previously issued a statement, so it does not necessarily mean that Mr. Zubac received the indictment on the 23rd. The hearing will be scheduled in due time and the public will be informed – said the BiH Court, but they could not explain why they waited a full seven days to confirm the news that the indictment had been filed.

Zubac was indicted for dereliction of duty when, on February 7, he refused to send members of the SIPA Special Unit to the Presidency building, which was set on fire by violent protesters.
