Arrested Kosovska Mitrovica Serb released on bail

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA  - Serb Dalibor Spasic, a medical technician from Kosovska Mitrovica arrested by Pristina's police at the Jarinje administrative crossing a month ago, was released on bail on Monday, his lawyer told Tanjug.

"We proposed bail and the judge accepted the proposal of the defence," Srdjan Mitrovic said, adding that the prosecutor's office had requested that Spasic's custody be extended by two months.

"He (the judge) issued an order to the Podujevo prison, after which we posted the bail to get Spasic released immediately," Mitrovic said.

The investigation continues and once it is complete, the judge will decide whether to file charges against Spasic, Mitrovic added.

Spasic was arrested at Jarinje on June 17 as he and his wife and underage daughter were returning to Kosovska Mitrovica from central Serbia.
