Kosovo Serb released from house custody on 30,000 euro bail

PRISTINA - A Pristina court announced on Friday Serb Dejan Pantic, a former officer of the so-called Kosovo Police, had been released from house custody on a 30,000 euro bail.

A court spokesperson said that, after rejecting a petition to extend Pantic's custody, the court had granted a request to replace the house custody measure with bail, Pristina-based Reporteri said.

Pantic was arrested at the Jarinje administrative crossing in the north of Kosovo-Metohija on December 10 and subsequently placed in custody.

For health reasons, he was later transferred to house custody.

He is charged with attacking the offices of Pristina's central electoral commission.
