Known details of Stevanovic's trial 22 years ago, found guilty
The Supreme Court in Radovljica convicted Zoran Stevanović of threatening someone's safety with a serious threat to kill them, based on documents obtained by journalists from 24ur.com and N1. The incident occurred on May 30, 2023, when Stevanović, then employed as a police officer, allegedly threatened a person at night with harm and shooting. The court imposed a fine of 150,000 tolar and potential imprisonment if the fine was unpaid. The court considered mitigating factors such as Stevanović being previously unpenalized and observations from the victim and their friends regarding police conduct and alcohol influence. Stevanović denied the criminal act, claiming it was a false report by the victim who later boasted about it. During the election campaign, Stevanović claimed he had never been legally convicted. He has since commented on social media, dismissing the allegations as recycled stories and criticizing media outlets. The Left has called for his resignation as head of the National Assembly, citing his lack of credibility due to past legal issues and alleged protection of a parliament member with credible accusations against workers.
