During Monday's morning, Pristina's Constitutional Court has acquitted Zlatan Arsic of war crimes charges in Kamenica during 1999.
With this decision, Arisqi's defence has expressed satisfaction, stressing that no evidence has confirmed that he has committed war crimes.
He is no longer a defendant, he is free, today he is released from custody. He spent 11 months in prison. Unfortunately, only he knows what it was like, but justice has come, slow but accessible. No evidence confirmed the fact that Zlatan committed war crimes. We have claimed this as a protection from the beginning even during the request to cast an indictment, even during the trial procedure. It is undeniably, Zlatan Arisq had alibis and that he was not there when the event allegedly occurred. This is the first act of specialised war crimes panel to be taken for release”, his lawyer, Vasilije Arsic, has said.
The indictment was announced Monday by Judge Valbona Musliu-Selimaj.
The trial after the completion of this trial and after managing evidence, hearing witnesses, the prosecution has again managed to argue that accused Assreq was a member of the Serbian police has failed to prove that it was the one who persecuted B. Or that the same was the person who burned his house”, Judge Musliu Selmanaj said, writes “Betimi per Justice”.
The PSRK Act, set up on July 28th 2023, charges Zlatan Arsenci that in March 1999, prior to the NATO bombings at the Kamenica Police Station, in co-ordination with other Serb police members, in uniform of that armed and police, had stopped him in Kamenica to be injured B. M, in a police vehicle, addressing “Gde as KLAú, “Where you sending these cigarettes”, “U n CK is sending it to”, “tat to show you who you bought your cigarettes for”.
Then, it is said that the injured was beaten with a rubber rod, kicks, and fists, tormenting him in a way dehumanizing, tormenting, and causing serious bodily injury and seriously enduring it for life. And when he had been injured a few days after his persecution, he had returned to his home from which he had been deported and burned, the accused in the courtyard had slapped him and placed the gun's barrel in his throat, threatening to murder him, and then Serb police had released him and his family.
Assreq is charged that during the war in Kosovo, along with other members of the Serbian police and paramilitary groups, he has participated in the forced deportation and deportation of the citizens of Kamenica with the siege, then looted the house and, in order to damage Albanian property was set on fire, if they participate in the mistreatment of Albanian civilians.
