He states that **nothing was read** at this hearing. They only concluded that everything had been said and that he maintained everything he had presented orally and in writing. **Editorial source connection.** The entry about revoked authority does not establish that self-representation began on 9 February 2026: the [5 November 2024 record](/en/documents/hearing-record-p2-1435-2024-2024-11-05) and [6 February 2025 record](/en/documents/hearing-record-p2-1435-2024-2025-02-06) already document the earlier representation history. This final record names no witnesses and contains no decision rejecting Vinka or Dragan Ignjatić. Their examination was proposed in the [earlier statement of claim](/en/documents/statement-of-claim) and maintained in the [26 March 2025 record](/en/documents/hearing-record-p2-1435-2024-2025-03-26). Those earlier proposals must be distinguished from the author’s account of what he raised at the final hearing and from the general withdrawal formulation recorded here.
