The Basic Court in Pristina, Special Department, has ruled on the Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo’s request to impose a one-month detention measure in the criminal case against the defendant, D.V., for criminal offenses.
D.V. is suspected of committing the offense of “endangering the constitutional order through the destruction or damage of public installations and equipment” under Article 122, in connection with the offenses of committing a terrorist act and unauthorized possession, control, or ownership of weapons.
In a press release, the Basic Court in Pristina announced that the pretrial judge had approved the Special Prosecution’s request dated December 1, 2024, for imposing the one-month detention measure against D.V.
“The Court assessed that the detention measure is appropriate and necessary, as if the defendant D.V. were released, there is a risk of escape. Considering the circumstances and the manner in which the criminal acts were committed, the defendant might flee to evade criminal responsibility. Furthermore, if released, the defendant could destroy, hide, alter, or falsify evidence of the crimes or obstruct the normal course of investigations, influence witnesses, or repeat similar or more severe criminal acts,” the statement reads.
Dissatisfied parties have the right to appeal this ruling to the Court of Appeals through the Basic Court in Pristina.
