The case has drawn attention in Serbia, where observers warn the outcome could impact press freedom and further endanger the country’s remaining independent media outlets.

The dispute was heard at the Palace of Justice in Amsterdam, Netherlands, with a group of lawyers, businessmen, and judges gathering to resolve the corporate dispute.

At stake, some argue, is press freedom in Serbia.

The outcome of the case is being closely watched due to its potential far-reaching consequences for democracy in Serbia.
