Belgrade - Director of the Office of the Government of Serbia for Media Relations Milivoje Mihajlovic dismissed the allegations that the Special Prosecutor's Office for War Crimes in Serbia helped in writing the indictment against the leader of the CI SDP Oliver Ivanovic.

Serbia had no part in it, he told TV Most in Zvecan/Zveqan.

"If a crime existed, Oliver Ivanovic would have been previously prosecuted in Serbia," Mihajlovic said, adding that the "key witness", to the crimes he is charged with, the Hague tribunal "dismissed as frivolous".

He expressed the belief that Ivanovic is "victim of the political process," which will soon end with Ivanovic's release.

Vice president of SDP Ksenija Bozovic said she does not expect "nothing spectacular" today when Ivanovic turns up at the first hearing in the Municipal Court in Mitrovica.

Bozovic said she expects of EULEX to respect the law and to allow Ivanovic to prove his innocence in a fair hearing.
