The Belgrade Public Prosecution on March 22 changed the indictment against six members and supporters of the Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative who had been charged with international terrorism after throwing Molotov cocktails at the Greek Embassy in Belgrade.
Prosecution spokesman Tomo Zoric told BETA that the prosecution analyzed the defendants' statements and other evidence and reached the conclusion that "there is no motive and premeditation of international terrorism, but rather the causing of danger to the general public."
The trial of Ratibor Trivunac, 28, Tadej Kurepa, 25, Ivan Vulovic, 25, Sanja Dojkic, 20, Ivan Savic, 26, and Nikola Mitrovic, 30, is to resume before the Belgrade High Court on March 23.
The charges against the six were pressed after they threw a Molotov cocktail at the Greek Embassy in Belgrade on the night between Aug. 24 and 25, 2009, causing damage to the building worth EUR18.
After pleading on counts of the indictment at the beginning of the trial, on Feb. 17, 2010, they were released from detention after nearly six months.
The six defendants denied accusations of being terrorists, claiming they had no intention of harming Greece or its embassy in Belgrade.
Serbian law envisages a prison sentence of between three and 15 years for the crime of international terrorism.
