In the trial of Dejan Pantić, Milun Milenković, Aleksandar Vlajić, and Miomir Vakić for the terrorist attack on the Election Commission offices in Northern Mitrovica in December 2022, prosecutor Bekim Kodraliu presented evidence, stating that photos found on Pantić’s phone confirm his key role in the “Civil Defense” organization.
During the presentation of evidence, Kodraliu discussed the jacket seized at Pantić’s arrest, which he claimed was used by members of Civil Defense. The prosecutor also noted that photographs found on Pantić’s phone show him wearing the jacket, which further links him to the organization.
According to Kodraliu, during the phone examination, several photographs were found showing Pantić wearing the jacket in question. These images were presented as material evidence and indicate that the Civil Defense was equipped with two types of jackets—one winter jacket, which was seized from Pantić, and a summer jacket.
The prosecutor also introduced a Kosovo Government decision designating Civil Defense and Northern Brigade as terrorist organizations. This move was in line with Kosovo’s efforts to ensure national, regional, and global security, maintaining constitutional order and stability.
Defense’s Response:
Pantić’s defense attorney, Predrag Miljković, countered the prosecutor’s claims, asserting that the jacket presented was a normal gift from Pantić’s daughter and had no connection to the Civil Defense.
