Kosovo judicial proceedings regarding northern security

Overview

Legal proceedings in Pristina courts are addressing various incidents involving security and infrastructure in northern Kosovo.

In one case, the Basic Court in Prishtina sentenced two defendants, Dushan Dobrac and Millosh Radosavljeviq, for their involvement in the 2022 Zveçan barricades. Both individuals reached plea agreements regarding charges such as joining unconstitutional activities to attack the constitutional order. A separate trial for four other defendants was postponed after one individual, Nenad Orloviq, failed to appear in court; reports indicate he may be residing in Serbia.

In a separate ongoing trial, defendants Jovan Viqentijeviq, Dragisha Viqentijeviq, and Igor Dimoviq are facing charges related to a November 2024 explosion at the Ibër-Lepenc canal in the village of Varagë, Zubin Potok. Prosecutors allege that approximately 20 kilograms of TNT were used to damage water supply infrastructure and threaten energy supplies for the Kosovo Energy Corporation power plants.

Jovan Viqentijeviq faces additional charges of espionage, with allegations that he worked for Serbian military intelligence to collect classified information, including a 66-page KFOR document. Evidence presented by the prosecution includes comparative soil analysis conducted with FBI assistance, which reportedly links the defendants to the site via soil found on seized boots and nearby bridges.
