Rote Krstevski disputes conviction after crash that caused serious injuries

Rote Krstevski says he was wrongly convicted after a traffic collision that left him with serious bodily injuries and a damaged vehicle. A final court decision found him guilty of endangering traffic safety; Krstevski has publicly challenged that verdict and presented extensive documentation to support his claim.

Among the documents he presented was his driver's license, which he says disproves the portion of the indictment alleging he operated a vehicle without a permit. Krstevski also claims the trial record contains evidence that, in his view, undermines the court's ruling.

He tells reporters that at the first hearing the other participant in the accident admitted responsibility. Krstevski adds that the initial expert report did not establish a breach of traffic rules on his part.

Disagreement between expert reports and procedural options

According to Krstevski, the conclusions changed after a later re-examination: the super-expertise attributed to him a failure to respect right of way. The differing expert findings are central to his argument that the judgment was unjust.

The case is recorded in the bulletin of the Ministry of Interior. The Appellate Court, which issued the final judgment, has pointed out that an affected party may seek legal protection before higher judicial instances.

Krstevski says he will continue to pursue avenues to challenge the conviction. The judicial file and the sequence of expert opinions remain the key elements he cites in his effort to reverse the decision.
