M.S.(17), the son of a businessman from Novi Sad, who is suspected of causing an accident near Budva, Montenegro while steering a speedboat, when policewoman Maja Sljivancanin (30) was killed, has been released pending the outcome of the trial, after spending a month in custody, the daily Vijesti reports.

The Kotor Basic Court accepted the bail of 330,000 euros in real estate posted by his family. The court also prohibited the teenager from leaving Budva, while the trial is scheduled to start on August 26 and will be closed to the public, since the defendant is a minor.

"The yacht was operated by a minor, M. S., and he is charged with committing criminal offenses against public safety and causing general danger. The bail consists of real estate worth a little over 330,000 euros and M.S. will be free during the trial," confirmed a spokesman of the Basic Court in Kotor, Spiro Pavicevic.

The accident happened on July 11 at sea near Budva, with M.S. suspected of hitting the boat with his speedboat, killing the woman, and injuring her fiancé Vladan S. (36).

When the speedboat, almost 12 meters long, hit the boat that was three times shorter, it cut it in half and the boat sank. There were seven other people on the speedboat and none of them got injured.

In the indictment, according to Montenegrin media, the prosecution charged the 17-year-old with causing the accident without malice aforethought. As the daily Blic writes, M.S. is a native of Novi Sad, but lives with his family in Belgrade. Montenegrin media reported that the young man's father owns the speedboat.

The teenager was in shock, said he didn't see the boat

 

After the accident, the suspect was immediately taken into custody and was in a state of shock. He remained in that condition during the questioning before the investigating judge of the Basic Court in Kotor and managed to tell very little about the tragedy itself and what had led to it.

At the hearing, which was also attended by the minor's father, who is the owner of the speedboat, and a representative of the Center for Social Welfare, M.S.allegedly said that he did not see the boat in front of him. He then said that he was steering a speedboat owned by his father, as well as that he received a license to operate it last summer, issued to him by the Port Authority of Kotor.
