Delevic: One-month detention for the Serbs suspected of "preparing terrorist acts"

Lawyer Milos Delevic confirmed for Kosovo Online that two Serbs from central Serbia had been ordered by the Basic Court in Pristina to be detained for one month, stating that they were suspected of the crime of "preparation of terrorist acts against the constitutional order of Kosovo".

Two Serbs S.J. and I.S. are suspected of going to Kosovo to join the protests in the north, and according to Delevic, they were arrested in Jarinje and accused of possessing weapons, as well as of participating in a group that commits criminal acts and hooliganism.

"They had absolutely nothing in their cars with which they could threaten the constitutional order of Kosovo," Delevic said and stated that the detention had been ordered at the request of the Special Prosecutor's Office of Kosovo.

He announced that, together with his colleague Ljubomir Pantovic, with whom he was on the case, he would appeal the decision on custody to the Court of Appeal.

"We will also participate in the investigation," Delevic said and stated that until now the arrested Serbs had been in custody in Pristina and were now awaiting a decision as to which prison in Kosovo they would be transferred.
