When, in mid-January 2017, Žurnal asked the president of the District Court in Prijedor, Duško Miloica, how it was possible for the judge of this court, Drena Marin, to appoint her own sister as ex-officio defence counsel in several cases, Miloica said that the appointments were legal. Four years later, Judge Drena Marin was sentenced to ten months in prison and banned from performing her duties by this first-instance verdict.
