KRALJEVO - At the proposal of the Higher Prosecutor's Office in Kraljevo, a local court has placed three officers of the so-called Kosovo Police in 30-day custody.
The three, identified as B S, aged 58, R Z, aged 48, and M S, aged 62, were arrested on June 14 in the territory of central Serbia.
The prosecutor's office ordered an investigation on suspicion that they have committed the criminal offence of illicit manufacture, possession, carrying and distribution of weapons and explosives.
At a press conference two days ago, State Secretary at the Serbian Interior Ministry Zeljko Brkic said an anti-terrorist unit of the Serbian police had located and arrested the three deep inside the territory of central Serbia.
"All three arrestees were in full combat gear and armed with three automatic rifles and ammunition and equipped with maps, GPS devices and other equipment," Brkic said.
He said they had driven to the Tresava-Batnjik alternative crossing in a Dacia Duster police car and then continued on foot along the Orahovo-Gnjilica road, where they were located and arrested by the Serbian anti-terrorist police unit.
