Yesterday a pre-trial judge at the Mitrovica Basic Court granted the applications from a prosecutor from the Kosovo Special Prosecution Office (SPRK), and ordered the detention on remand for two defendants for a period of one month.

The prosecutor's application for detention on remand has been rejected for another defendant, and instead the court imposed the following measures: 1. Prohibition of Approaching a Specific Place or Person according to Article 177 of the CPC(witnesses and their family members) and 2. Attendance at police stations, according to Article of the 178 CPC.

This case is related to events that took place in Kosovo during 1999/2000.
