"Well, justice is slow but attainable! The Appellate Court in Skopje today delivered an acquittal for Bojan Jovanovski in the 'International Union' case. With that it overturned the first-instance verdict of the Basic Criminal Court of five years!! That's it. After a bad indictment follows an acquittal! That's it! Alright!" Dukovski wrote.
