EULEX panel of judges today provided defense lawyers of the leader of the Civic Initiative SDP Oliver Ivanovic, with a written verdict sentencing him to nine years in prison for war crimes committed in Mitrovica in 1999.
This has paved the way for defense lawyers to appeal the decision. Ivanovic’s lawyer Nebojsa Vlajic said that verdict written on 192 pages has been received and that deadline to appeal the decision is 15 days, which they will observe.
