PRISTINA - Two more Serbs suspected of involvement in Sunday's deadly clashes between a group of local Serbs and the so-called Kosovo Police in the Banjska village near Zvecan in the north of Kosovo-Metohija were placed in one-month custody by the basic court in Pristina on Tuesday.
Pristina-based Reporteri said the two were Blagoje Spasojevic and Dusan Maksimovic.
In a statement to the press, Maksimovic's lawyer said his defence planned to appeal the decision.
On Monday, the Pristina court also placed a man identified with the initials V T in one-month custody on suspicion of involvement in the Banjska clashes.
Reporteri said his hearing had taken place in a Pristina clinic where he was receiving medical treatment.
All three men are suspected of committing "terrorist acts" and "grave criminal offences against the constitutional order and security."
Four Serbs and one officer of the so-called Kosovo Police were killed in the Banjska clashes early on Sunday.
