Had the prosecution reacted to the criminal complaint, we would not listen to Obradović calling for an armed rebellion
Had the prosecution reacted to the criminal complaint filed by the Ministry of Defence against Boško Obradović on 3rd March 2020, based on a reasonable suspicion that he committed the criminal offense of "Calling for a Violent Change of the Constitutional Order" under Article 309, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code in connection with the criminal offense of the “Attack Against the Constitutional Order” referred to in Article 308 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Serbia, we would not listen today to Obradović calling again on the members of the military, police and Security Information Agency for an armed rebellion and civil war.
We wonder which legal system would allow someone to call for violence and the coup and not be prosecuted for it and where the call for rebellion does not deserve legal action.
The fact that no one listens to Obradović or takes him seriously is not an exonerating circumstance. His apparent nervous disorder and mental incompetence have yet to be proven in criminal proceedings and cannot be a reason to drop criminal prosecution in advance.
The Ministry of Defence will file another complaint against Obradović for the repeated criminal act, in the hope that this time the authorities will at least interrogate him.
