A month of detention for the Serb for the riots in Zveçan
The Basic Court in Pristina has ordered one month of detention against the defendant SM, for committing the criminal offense of association for unconstitutional activity, endangering persons under international protection, participation in a crowd that commits a criminal offense and hooliganism and the criminal offense of assault on an official person. The court has assessed that there are legal conditions and reasons for the appointment of detention, taking into account the manner and circumstances in which the criminal offenses were committed, especially the social dangerousness of the criminal offences, the consequences of which many members of KFOR, police officers were injured , journalists and other citizens, as well as numerous material damages from burning and physical damage, shows enough that the defendant, if left to defend himself at liberty, will try to change the evidence of the criminal offense, influencing the other suspects, who are free as well as other potential witnesses. The same can easily escape considering the fact that SM is also a citizen of Serbia and if he is released, he can escape. SM is suspected to have participated in the protests organized on May 29, 2023 in front of the Zveçan Municipality facility with a suspected group, attacking KFOR and the Kosovo Police, as well as trying to block the car's ventilation using foam of the police in which at those moments police officers were trapped inside the car, and the defendant's goal was to stop the supply of oxygen to these police officers, seriously endangering the lives of the police officers, so the actions of this the defendants fulfilled all the elements of the criminal offenses for which they are suspected. Against this decision, the dissatisfied parties have the right to appeal to the Court of Appeal, through the Basic Court in Pristina.
