The Belgrade court has released Milan Radojičić from custody just one day after his interrogation, as announced by the Belgrade High Court.
The preliminary procedure judge rejected the proposal made by the Belgrade Public Prosecutor’s Office to impose a pre-trial detention measure on Radojičić following his interview.
The prosecution had argued for pre-trial detention, citing concerns about his potential escape.
On September 29, Milan Radojičić admitted responsibility for orchestrating and carrying out an attack in Banjska, Zvecan, located in north Kosovo.
This attack resulted in the tragic death of Afrim Bunjaku, a Kosovo Police officer, and the loss of three Serbian attackers in retaliatory gunfire.
In a decision dated October 4, Radojičić has been prohibited from leaving Serbian territory without court approval and is also barred from entering Kosovo.
As part of this decision, he is required to report to the relevant police station on the 1st and 15th of each month.
Additionally, his travel document, namely the passport of the Republic of Serbia, has been temporarily confiscated. He has been cautioned that pre-trial detention may be issued if he breaches his rights and responsibilities.
Radojičić is facing accusations in Serbia relating to the procurement of firearms, ammunition, and powerful explosive devices from Tuzla in Bosnia and Herzegovina between January 2023 and September 24.
He was detained for 48 hours by Serbian authorities on October 3.
Radojičić has consistently denied any involvement in these alleged crimes.
Kosovo has assigned blame to Serbia for the Banjska attack, categorizing it as a “terrorist act”.
In contrast, Belgrade has rejected these allegations, contending that local Serbs in Kosovo have “rebelled against Kurti’s terror”, alluding to Kosovo’s Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
