Pristina court extends custody for Serbs charged in Banjska case

PRISTINA - A Pristina court has extended the custody for three Serbs arrested following the September 24 Banjska clashes by another two months, the attorney of one of the men confirmed to Tanjug on Thursday.

Milos Delevic said his client, Vladimir Tolic, still had metal bars in one of his legs due to wounds sustained in the clashes and announced he would request Tolic's medical documentation from the prehearing judge due to inadequate medical treatment of his condition.

"The custody has been extended. We have had too much patience for prison doctors and doctors at the Pristina institute. As his attorney, I will request a copy of his medical documentation so that his family can consult doctors about the adequacy of the medical treatment he has received," Delevic said.

Tolic, Dusan Maksimovic and Blagoje Spasojevic were arrested following the clashes and have been in custody since September 26.

The Pristina prosecutor's office has charged them with the criminal act of "terrorism."
