The Court of Appeals, in a panel composed of local and international judges, has rejected the seven appeals of defence councillors against the ruling on extension of detention on remand and the requests for imposition of house detention for the defendants in a war crimes case.

The Court rejected the appeals as unfounded and affirmed the ruling of the presiding trial judge of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica Basic Court on extension of detention on remand of 22 November 2013.
