Judge Ristevska Designated to Criminal Court over Laskarci Bus Accident Case

The Judicial Council held an urgent session on Thursday in order to intervene over the Laskarci Bus Accident case.

Earlier on Thursday, Judge Aleksandra Ristevska, who is a lay judge in the Laskarci Bus Accident case, was officially sworn in as new Appellate Judge, before a verdict in the Laskaric case was to be reached, which opened a serious risk for the entire case to be restarted.

Criminal Court President Ivan Dzolev reacted over this and notified Judicial Council President Vesna Dameva, who scheduled an urgent session on Thursday afternoon, at which it was decided that Risteska will have to finish the Laskarci Bus Accident Case before she assumes her position at the Appellate Court.

The verdict over the case is to be announced on 25 January 2024.
