Terzic’s defense counsel Vladan Batic has announced that his client would attend the trial in order to prove his innocence and clear his name, which Batic said was "smeared by people from the former government, with bad intentions”. Batic stated that Terzic was “in a dilemma" what the proceedings against him were "actually about", and asserted that it was "the former regime (the government prior to 2008) which for several reasons wanted to shame him”. The lawyer added that his client had "health problems and wanted to be with his family during the necessary tests and treatment". Batic also said he was hoping that the court would not remand Terzic into custody pending his trial, and that his client had money and real estate worth EUR 200,000 ready in bail money.
