The Supreme Court has upheld the original ruling, imposing a 13-year prison sentence on Vasil Jovanov. Gazeta Express reported this significant development on March 18, 2026, at 14:14. The court definitively denied a request for an extraordinary review of Vasil Jovanov’s case, which stemmed from an incident last year in Skopje.
He was involved in striking Frosina Kulakova while they were both crossing the street. This judgment solidifies the 13-year imprisonment sentence, eliminating any further legal avenues for a reduction in Jovanov’s time. The court’s official announcement, published on its website, detailed the decision following a council session held on March 11 of this year.
Specifically, the Supreme Court of North Macedonia communicated that, under criminal case KVP2-22/26, a decision was made after the council session on 11.3.2026. This reinforces the court’s authority and ensures the finality of the judgment concerning Vasil Jovanov.
