Yesterday an international pre-trial judge at Prishtinë/Priština Basic Court partially granted the application for detention on remand filed by a local prosecutor from Kosovo Special Prosecution Office (SPRK).

The judge ordered one month detention on remand for two officials of the Prishtinë/Priština Municipality. The application for detention on remand for eight other municipality officials has been rejected, while the court seized the travel documents for the eleventh defendant, and ordered him to repot to a police station once a week.

The defendants have been arrested on 3rd of April 2014.

Parties have the right to appeal.
