Arrested Kosovo-Metohija Serb released from detention

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - Pristina's police confirmed to Tanjug on Friday a Kosovo-Metohija Serb arrested at the Jarinje administrative crossing earlier in the day had been released from detention.

Previously, the deputy chief of the so-called Kosovo Police for Region North said the arrestee, a man identified by the initials B L, had been detained for "possession of narcotics."

Earlier in the day, the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija said Serb Boris Lesevic, a resident of Leposavic, had been arrested at Jarinje for no reason and without any grounds.

In a statement, it said 34-year-old Lesevic had used the crossing several times in the past few days, only to be held without an explanation on Friday and interrogated for a long period of time and then taken to the southern part of Kosovska Mitrovica.
