Serbia Delays Trial of Mosque Arsonists Again

Forum 18 today says that prosecutors in Serbia are dragging their feet in bringing 11 young people to trial for burning a mosque in the city of Nis. It has been 15 months since the attack, and yesterday a municipal court hearing was postponed for a sixth time. Most of the delays were caused by the non-appearance of some of the accused or their lawyers. When a trial finally takes place, it will be for "group violence", and not for "initiating religious hatred".
