Dejan Pantic's son in front of the base near Jarinje: We tried to see or hear our father, but they didn't let us

The family of the arrested ex-policeman Dejan Pantic went today on their own initiative to the base of Kosovo special units near the Jarinje border crossing in the hope of seeing or hearing him, but the only thing they managed to do was hand over his belongings for changing clothes and personal hygiene.

Son Predrag tells Kosovo Online that he and his mother were not allowed to contact Dejan.

"My mother and I came here to hand over some things for my father on our own initiative. We came to try to ask the people who work here and keep my father to get in touch with him, to give him a phone to call us or to visit him. We don't have any information about him for 12 days. He didn't get the right to call or visit. The people who came out were nice; we didn't have any problems with them. They say they are doing their job and that they can't let us hear and see him until the judge or someone from above doesn't approve it," Predrag Pantic told us.

Pantic's son says that the lawyers have already done everything legally required and submitted all the demands, but that someone is not giving basic human rights to his father - to hear the family and for them to hear from him personally that he is fine.

"This is already the 12th day, I don't know who else to turn to. They didn't let us see and hear him. They took his things for clothing and personal hygiene. I'm still appealing; I'm asking someone to see that here, in the 21st century, the basic human rights are violated and that the man has not been in contact with his family and lawyer for the 12th day," Predrag Pantic says.
