Milivoje Mihajlovic, Director of the Office for Media Relations in the Serbian Government, said today that judge should release on bail the CI SDP leader Oliver Ivanovic.
“I think judge should decide to release Ivanovic on bail, because it’s irrelevant for the political scene in Kosovo whether he is out of custody or in it, because he was arrested in order to be removed from political life ahead of parliamentary elections in Kosovo,” Mihajlovic told Radio Television Serbia (RTS).
As explained in the first part of the indictment, Ivanovic is charged with war crimes during the conflict in Kosovo in 1999, while the second part relates to crimes in Mitrovica in 2000.
“In the first part, his lawyers will not have a difficult job, and in the second part there are no witnesses. I believe that the court will soon come to the truth and that Ivanovic is not guilty,” he said.
