Rosic and Spasojevic begun hunger strike, request transfer to Mitrovica North detention unit (KoSSev)

Marko Rosic and Nedeljko Spasojevic, suspected of involvement in the murder of Civic Initiative Freedom, Democracy, Justice (GI SDP) leader Oliver Ivanovic begun a hunger strike on Monday, KoSSev portal reported. The detention of the two Serbs from Mitrovica North was extended yesterday for two more months as confirmed by the Kosovo Special Prosecutor Syle Hoxha. Rosic and Spasojevic requested transfer to the detention unit in Mitrovica North, Negovan Saranovic, defense lawyer of Spasojevic said, adding he would file an appeal against the decision to extend the detention. Saranovic said Rosic and Spasojevic begun hunger strike because their request to be transferred to the detention unit in Mitrovica North was not approved. They requested a transfer in order to be closer to their families and due to the language barrier in the Podujevo prison center where there are no Serbs they can communicate with.
