After his acquittal for the crime in Štrpci, Luka Dragičević filed a lawsuit against Bosnia and Herzegovina demanding that he be paid more than 140,000 BAM in material and non-material damages, plus statutory default interest.
In the continuation of the proceedings on the lawsuit, witness Dragan Proković was heard, who said that he knew Dragičević from the period when they both worked at the gambling company “Đio” which operated in Belgrade. He stated that he worked as an auditor, and Dragičević as a worker for physical security of the facilities that kept the house order.
He worked for us from the beginning of 2003 or 2004. He had a contract for work – explained Proković, adding that Dragičević worked there until 2007. He explained that he started working there again from 2010 to, as he remembers, 2015.
Proković said that in a conversation with the owner of the company, he learned that Dragičević had legal proceedings in BiH. As he explained, the company “Đio” began to suspend operations in 2016.
The attorney Aleksandar Čokeša filed a formal claim, requesting that Dragičević be paid 54,000 BAM with statutory default interest as compensation for non-pecuniary damage. The plaintiff was requested to be paid 92,902.40 BAM for material damage, also with statutory default interest.
Assistant attorney Mladen Draganić did not attend today’s hearing. Dragičević was acquitted of responsibility for issuing the order to take away civilians who were killed in the Višegrad area by a final verdict of the Court of BiH.
He filed the lawsuit because of the restraining orders that were previously imposed on him, which, as he said at one of the hearings, caused him health problems and loss of income.
The court will issue a decision on Dragičević’s lawsuit within the legally prescribed deadline, BIRN reports.
