For the survival of Serb community in Kosovo and Metohija it is of utmost importance to encourage people to return, said Abbot of Decani Monastery, father Sava Janjic.

Dejan Vasic, lawyer of Slobodan Gavric, announced that he will request a transfer of his client from Pristina to the detention unit in Kosovska Mitrovica.

Lawyer Vasić told Tanjug that he visited Gavric in custody in Pristina and that his client was in very poor mental state, primarily because of speculation about him, published in the media.
