According to a report from the private healthcare facility “Hippocrates” dated March 2021, an MRI scan showed no indications of any illness for Svetislav Milošević.

This medical documentation was presented by Svetlana Milić, representative of the injured party’s family, during the ongoing trial at the Court of Appeal of Montenegro.

The defendant, Igor Laković, is facing charges before the Court of Appeal for the crime of “serious bodily harm leading to death.”

The Higher Court in Podgorica has previously sentenced Laković to a two-year prison term for striking Svetislav Milošević on November 10, 2021, who succumbed to his injuries four days later at the Clinical Center of Montenegro.

Lawyer Nebojša Asanović, representing the Milošević family, stated that this MRI examination found no congenital defects in Svetislav Milošević, contesting the expert opinion provided in the earlier main trial. Judge Predrag Tabaš indicated that the court would formally request the original medical documentation from the “Hippocrates” polyclinic, having only received a photocopy of the report.

Mirko Bošković, defense attorney for Laković, did not oppose the request from the injured party’s family.

During the most recent main hearing in mid-December 2024, forensic expert Dr. Nemanja Radojević cited congenital vascular anomalies as the cause of Milošević’s death.

As per the indictment, on the night of November 10, 2021, a dispute over a parking space led Laković to strike Milošević, who then fell. He passed away four days later at the Clinical Center of Montenegro. The indictment claims that Laković hit Milošević on the left side of the head, fully aware that this could cause serious injury.

“The defendant inflicted serious and life-threatening injuries on the injured party, who was treated at KCCG until November 14, 2021, when he died. The defendant acted negligently concerning the consequences of his actions, knowing that they could lead to such an outcome but carelessly assuming that they would not. Thus, he committed the crime of serious bodily injury under Article 151, paragraph 3, in conjunction with paragraph 2 of the Criminal Code of Montenegro,” the indictment states.

The trial is set to resume on February 25.
