One of those accused of raping Vasfije, today Kosovo police officer

On April 17th 2013, the Constitutional Court of Mitrovica had freed two Serbs -- Jovica Dejanovic and Djordje Boykovic -- from charges of raping Vasfije Krasniqi, who was then a minor girl, 16. For the rape that had occurred on April 14, 1999, Dejanovic and Boykovic had been declared [...]
The Act against the two Serbs was set up on November 12th 2012. Based on the indictment, Dejanovic, armed with rifles and threatening him with a knife, had forced Krasniqi to commit sexual acts against her will within his car in the village of Babmoc.
Charged Dejanovic, at the time, in the quality of the Serbian police member, had kidnapped Vasfie from her home in the Low Stanoc village, in the presence of some of her family members and then sent her to the site where she committed the crime in Babamos.
Meanwhile, their accused Boykovic had been raped by Krasniqi, who had been kidnapped by Dejanovic, in a house still under construction in the same village.
According to the indictment, Dejanovic victim Vasfije Krasniqi had thrown him on the floor in the aforementioned house and had forced him to commit sexual acts against her will.
Despite all the facts given in the court, its confirmation of the first rapist, eyewitness confirmation that Dejanovic had taken her from her home to Lower Stanoc, the court had declared them innocent.
The case of declaring the two Serbs as innocent, the Humanitarian Law Fund had seen them as unprofessional.
“Based on the analysis of the indictment, FDH Kosovo estimates that the Court of Freedom Act on War Crimes has based on the non-professional identification of the accused, respectively, in the fact that no doubt has been proven that the accused, each individual, have committed this cruel crime. It is inconsistent that minor V.K. She was kidnapped by her family and then violated. To confirm responsibility, the key to the court has been, however, to identify the perpetrators. Although the court, by law, has a right to free assessment of evidence, Kosovo expects the Court of Appeals to turn this subject into retrial. The victim of rape - at the time of this serious crime - deserves to have the evidence analyzed by a court of law, since it should not be allowed to make the victim of rape a victim of unfair justice. FDH Kosovo estimates that the court must, during the upcoming procedure, bear in mind the fact that the victim was infertile when violated, that it has gone through a hell of its own kind and that its courage, in spite of Kosovo patriarchal tradition, to appear and publicly testify to the court, constitutes a repeat of this Hades”, the FHD had ascertained.
However, on June 27, 2014, Jovica Dejanovic and Djordje Boykovic were re-arranged by EULEX police for raping Vasfije because, reportedly in the EULEX report, the Court of Appeals has overturned the Constitutional Court Act in Mitrovica and had declared two defendants guilty of prosecution of war crimes against civilian population under Article 142. The former RSPJ Penal Code.
However, the Supreme Court of Kosovo, with its mixed composition panel led by Judge Nesrin Lushta on September 30th of 2014, had brought the trial on the subject “Procuror against Dejanovqi and Boykovic”, with which indictees Jovica Dejanovic and Djordje Boykovic had again been acquitted of committing criminal acts of rape as a crime of fighting civil population.
They have been charged with violating the sixteen-year-old Albanian from Kosovo on April 14th 1999 during the time of armed conflict in Kosovo.
One of the accused, So Jovica Dejanovic, today works as a police officer in the Kosovo Police. A photograph of him has even begun to circulate on social networks, following the confession of the event by Vasfije Krasniqi. /Periscopi/
