The arrest of former Kosovo policeman Dejan Pantić was the reason for setting up barricades in the north of Kosovo. He was remanded in custody until January 9. He is charged with committing a terrorist act. His lawyer announced an appeal as soon as the explanation was delivered to him. Aleksandar Vučić claims that Pantić is completely innocent

The judge of the Special Department of the Basic Court in Pristina sentenced Dejan Pantić, who was arrested on Friday at the Jarinje crossing, to judicial custody for 30 days, from December 10 of this year until January 9, 2023, his lawyer Srđan Mitrović told Tanjug who was hired by the Office for Kosovo and Metohija.

Mitrović said that he "received a decision, but it is not a decision, but a dispositive provision in which it is said that a detailed explanation will be submitted later." He also said that the hearing was held online and that he did not see Pantić live.

He announced that he will file an appeal when he is provided with the explanation on the basis of which this measure was adopted.

Dejan Pantić was arrested on Friday at the Jarinje crossing when he was returning from Raska with his family, and he is charged with the crime of "committing a terrorist act".

His family, as they say, learned from the media based on the statement of the Kosovo Minister of the Interior, Dželjal Svečlja, that Pantić is accused of "organizing the attack on the premises of the CEC in the north of Kosovo."

Earlier today, Belgrade liaison officer Dejan Pavićević sent an official request to Priština to allow him to visit Dejan Pantić, who has since been arrested on the 10th. neither the family nor the lawyer saw her in December. EU representatives in Belgrade and Pristina were also informed about this request from Belgrade.

Last night, President Aleksandar Vučić, in his address to the nation after the session of the National Security Council, included in RTS' TV Dnevnik, said that Dejan Pantić, the father of three children, was arrested and that until recently he was wearing the uniform of the Kosovo police.

"As if they accused him, the so-called minister of the interior and some others, of terrorism, and you know why he was arrested, because of the incident when they tried to occupy the building of the municipal commission." It happened that Pantić committed real terrorism. That man lives in that building and used to take bread and groceries home."

Come back da "The video surveillance confirmed that Pantić did nothing in front of his house, then they said that he did it in Leposavic, and that a year ago. The man is a heart patient, who recently had an operation, is receiving therapy, and his family has not been informed of his whereabouts or how he is doing."

Calling the residents of northern Kosovo for peace, President Vučić pointed out that it is our duty to call for peace and to release an innocent man.

He also believes that "now they must not release him because it is clear that they arrested him completely innocent".

What Serbia will do to free Dejan Pantić, after he has been detained for 30 days, has not been announced.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
