The trial continues for the fire that occurred in the modular hospital in Tetovo in 2021 when 14 people lost their lives.

A new hearing should be held at 10 am today. For today, the judge asked the defense lawyers to indicate the circumstances for which proposed witnesses are called from their side. The judge also set two hearing dates for next month, that is, April 4 and 25.

Three weeks ago, at the hearing, an authorized forensic expert in electrical engineering and a woman who was a companion of a man who was undergoing hospital treatment testified.

The defendants, the directors Fjorin Besimi and Artan Etemi, doctor Boban Vucevski and the representative of the Tetovo Clinical Hospital as a legal entity, emphasized at the beginning of the trial that they understood the accusation, but that they did not admit guilt and did not commit the crimes they were accused of.

The trial for the fire that occurred on September 8, 2021, when 14 people died and ten were injured, began on December 7, 2022, after the trial was postponed several times between September 2022 and then.
