Igor Popović, Assistant Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, responsible for legal affairs, was detained yesterday at the Brnjak administrative crossing.
Yesterday, Igor Popović attended a memorial service in Orahovac. Veton Elshani, Deputy Commander of the North region police in Kosovo and Metohija, confirmed today that Popović has been ordered to be detained for up to 48 hours.
Popović was in Orahovac yesterday to mark the anniversary of the suffering of Serbs from the Orahovac region.
The Office for Kosovo and Metohija announced that Popović was detained due to his statement after the memorial service, merely because he called by their true name those who killed 47 Serbs and Roma and kidnapped over a hundred innocent people in July 1998.
The Director of the Office, Petar Petković, informed Brussels about the detention of his associate and demanded his immediate release, as well as the protection of missions operating in the territory of Kosovo and Metohija.
