Court in Pristina extends detention for nine Serbs from Zubin Potok

The Supreme Court in Pristina has rejected legality protection requests from defense lawyers representing nine Serbs from the Zubin Potok area. The individuals are accused of alleged war crimes against civilian populations.

As a result of the court's decision, the detention of the nine suspects has been extended for an additional two months, until December 25. Defense attorneys cited the court's reasoning as being based on the risk of flight, potential influence on witnesses, and the existence of reasonable suspicion regarding the charges.

Defense lawyer Predrag Miljković raised legal concerns regarding one client, Miloš Rašković, noting that Rašković is listed as both a defendant and a witness in the same proceedings. Miljković argued that the court's reasoning was flawed, specifically pointing out the perceived impossibility of a defendant influencing themselves as a witness.
