They were arrested in the north of Kosovo for war crimes, the court sets the measure for three Serbs

The three Serbs arrested for "war crimes against the civilian population" have been sentenced to 30 days of detention, the defense team of the suspects has confirmed.

One of the defendants' lawyers stated to the media on Thursday that his client is accused of crimes, but it is not clear what they are about.

"They are charged with the criminal offense of war crime. But to tell you the truth, from the justification of the request for the appointment of detention, you could not see what he was specifically charged for, what happened and when, how and why these people have this charge. I said earlier, I have never seen such a confusing, unclear, unprofessional and bad detention request in my 28 years of practicing law," said lawyer Ljubomir Pantovic.

According to the lawyer, the request for detention is "totally illegal, unclear and unprofessional", while he added that one of the arrested has health problems.

"Unfortunately, the judge accepted a confusing, bad, empty and unprofessionally drafted request for detention, which is drafted illegally, without facts, without evidence, and I want to say on this occasion that, unfortunately, the Special Department of the Court Basic in Prishtina, which is competent for the processing of war crimes, does not have enough power or will and desire to implement these actions in accordance with the Law", said Pantovic, Koha reports.

According to him, the Court did not even take into account the opinion of the doctor of one of the suspects that "detention will drastically worsen his condition".
