Detention to Oliver Ivanovic was extended yesterday for another two months, communicated Ivanovic’s party CI SDP ‘Oliver Ivanovic’ on its official Facebook and Twitter accounts commenting it as ‘shameful’.
Ivanovic is in detention as of 27 January 2014. His detention has been extended despite none of ten witnesses of the prosecution, who were questioned so far, could not bring him in connection with the events which took place on 14 April 1999, when four Albanians were killed in Kosovska Mitrovica.
EULEX still did not issue any statements in this regard, however Ivanovic’s lawyers last night confirmed to Belgrade based media the information about extension of Ivanovic’s detention.
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic yesterday called EULEX to release from detention, pending final verdict, five Serbs, including Ivanovic, from northern Kosovo who are tried based on a joint indictment, what would be confirmation of respect of fundamental human rights and objectivity of the court proceeding.
