There is no explanation for the withdrawal of arrest warrant against Radojici

During Monday, Kosovo's Special Prosecutor has provided no response to the request for revocation of the warrant for Milan Radojic's arrest.

Asked by the REL, the Pristina Foundation Court has only confirmed that it has approved the Special Prosecutor's request, it has not provided further details.

For more information, you can address the prosecution, as the case is in the phase of investigations”, it is said in response to this court.
According to the Foundation, the Special Department, dated 19,02.2021, has accepted the Kosovo Special Prosecutor's request “for the withdrawal of the arrest warrant against indictee M.R., while the court, on 2302.2021, has approved the prosecution's request”.

Civil society: Special Prosecution Must Offer Transparency

But representatives of civil society organisations, which monitor Kosovo's justice system, say the Special Prosecutor must provide more information on the case.

Kosovo Institute for Justice Executive Director Ehat Miftaraj says Kosovo Special Prosecutorship should ensure the opinion that the withdrawal of the arrest warrant for Rado ai is legal action.

I believe it is in the interest of the public to inform the public, to provide additional clarifications so that we can make sure the law is implemented in concrete cases. If this is done simply for other reasons and groundless in the law, then surely the prosecutor should render a account of”, Miftaraj says.
On the other hand, Genc Nimoni from the Organisation “Arise” says it is important to know why withdrawal of the arrest warrant has been necessary.
The procedure has sought to remove this measure and has not told us why. Maybe now he's caught up and arrested, maybe he's decided to cooperate with the prosecution, and we don't know that, or maybe the prosecution completely dismissed the allegations and charges against him. We don't know either of these and it's important that we know”, Nimoni says.

LVV: Justice does not function with judges and prosecutors indebted to politics

The Vetevendosje Movement, which won the February 14th elections, has also reacted to the prosecution's move. This political subject, which is expected to form the next government, has termed the withdrawal of the arrest warrant for Milan Radocicin.

While calling it an exhibition of organised crime, Vetevendosje says that “anyone sees this sudden action with suspicion and as absorption of previous debts or condition for new underground and parapolic alliances”.

LVV is sharply critical of reports of abolishing arrest speech for Radocicin

Vetevendosje says that as future governance is clearly defined in the function of rule of law, but it is evidence that “cannot be achieved with judges and prosecutors who are deeply indebted to politics or organised crime”.

But who is Milan Radojcik, and what is he accused of?

Milan Radojici's name became more popular for the public shortly after the assassination of Kosovo Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic. He was killed in an assassination in front of his party headquarters on January 16, 2018, in northern Mitrovica.

Radociq is among the key suspects in organising this murder.

According to the Kosovo Prosecutor's Act, Radoic allegedly committed criminal work: “The participation or organisation of the organised criminal group”.
A year and a half after the assassination of Oliver Ivanovic, the prosecution issued an arrest warrant for Milan Radojici, who earlier fled Kosovo and was on the run.

He was accused of being the leader of a criminal group, which since 2011 has operated in the part of northern Mitrovica, where in addition to the organisation and murder of Oliver Ivanovic, the group has allegedly been involved in other criminal acts.

However, Radoicic was an acceptable figure for some politicians in Pristina.

In a report that is still published on the Kosovo prime minister's website, it is seen how former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj had then waited in his office, in the quality of the political subject's deputy chairman, the Serbian List, Milan Radocicin.

According to the announcement, the meeting reportedly discussed “with particular emphasis on security aspects as well as economic and social development”.

Radoichiq was seen in a photograph even with former Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli.

The meeting took place in 2018, on the coast of Montenegro.

Pacolli himself had denied knowing Radojrich when the meeting happened.

For the “jet show in Kosovo”, Pacolli has declared that he had not recognised Milan Radojici, but that he was invited for a drink from Serbian List Chairman Goran Rakic and there had been cases of Radojciq.

Official Belgrade has consistently denied Milan Radojici's involvement in Oliver Ivnovic's murder.

Regarding news of the withdrawal of the arrest warrant for Milan Radocicin, Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, said on Sunday that lies had been spread for more than two years about the murder of Oliver Ivanovic.

For two years and more, you've heard every day how Milan Radojicic is the killer, the author of the work and Vuciq is the boss, that's in subtenx”, Vuciq said.

What's going on with Ivanovic?

On February 5th 2021, before the Constitutional Court in Pristina, a feasibility hearing has been held in the case of the murder of civic initiative leader “Liberty, Democracy, Justice” (SDP), Oliver Ivanovic.

The accused Nedeljko Spasojevich, Marko Rospic, Rade Basara, Silvana Arsovic, Dragisa Markovik and Zarko Jovanovic were acquitted.
The other three indictees -- Zvonko Veselinovic, Milan Radojic and Zelko Bojic -- continue to be on the run.

This session was held on the basis of the third indictment, which was established in November 2020, because the Court of Appeals in Pristina turned the indictment into the Special Prosecutor for Change.

Flowers and candles are located near the photograph of the murdered Serbian politician Oliver Ivanovic.

This was done after the defendants' defence lawyers appealed the verdict to reject evidence objections and demanded that the charges be dropped.
The Actakuz charges this group that from 2014 until 2018, they were part of a criminal group led by Zhelko Bojq, Zvonko Veselinovic and Milan Radojic.

Besides, they are also accused of continuing efforts to put northern Mitrovica under their control.

The Actakuz claims that the accused knowingly and deliberately helped that criminal group in order to commit criminal work -- the murder of Oliver Ivanovic, who was one of the most important Serbian politicians in Kosovo since the war ended.
