The Basic Court in Pristina extended the custody of the people from Nikšić who were arrested at the celebration of Visoki Dečan for another month, online lawyer Jovana Filipović confirmed for Kosovo.
"Today we received the Decision of the special department of the Basic Court in Pristina extending the judicial custody of Rajko Krivokapić, Marinko Jovanović and Dragutin Lalatović for a period of one month, i.e. until January 23.01.2024, XNUMX. ", stated the lawyer of Dragutin Lalatović, Jovana Filipović.
She points out that the crime the suspects are charged with is not a criminal offense and that the Court's Decision on the extension of the detention measure is illegal.
The defense will appeal the court's decision.
"After the statements of the officials that read ``Kosovo is Kosovo and Kosovo is Albania'' or ``Kosovo is Turkey'' it is obvious unequal treatment and discrimination of these persons due to similar sentences. Namely, on the frames of Krivokapić's license plates it was written ``Kosovo is Serbia'' while Jovanović and Lalatović were traveling companions," said Filipović.
She points out that the defense requested equality in the application of law.
"I would like to note that in this case the right to language was absolutely not respected, we were also provided with the original Decision on the determination of custody only in the Albanian language, as well as today's Decision on the extension of custody, while the decision of the Appellate Court on the previously filed appeal was not delivered to us at all," she said. is Filipović.
Rajko Krivokapić (34), Marinko Jovanović (24) and Dragutin Lalatović (24) from Nikšić were arrested after the celebration of the founder's glory in Visoki Dečani on November 24 because of the inscription "Kosovo is Serbia" on the license plates.
On November 26, they were remanded in custody for the criminal offense of inciting discord and intolerance, while the lawyers filed an appeal against the court's decision.
