In support of Oliver Ivanovic, an upcoming protest has been announced in Mitrovica to take place on Friday at eleven o'clock.

The protest will be held in the city centre, and the organizers invite the public to come together and express dissent "against the shameful political verdict against Oliver Ivanovic."

The protest is being organized by Ivanovic's friends, members of his legal team and the residents of Kosovo.

EULEX judge panel of the Municipal Court in Mitrovica sentenced Ivanovic to nine years in prison for war crimes in 1999 in this city, following which his defence team announced an appeal to the Appellate Court.
