Lazar Dejanović from Zvečan was sentenced to eight months in prison and a €10,000 fine for “attacking a public official” and “hooliganism” during protests by Serbs in three municipalities in northern Kosovo in late May last year.
The judge of the basic court of the provisional Pristina institutions, Valjon Kurtaj, issued the verdict based on a previous agreement between the prosecutor and the accused, who admitted to committing the aforementioned criminal offenses.
The accused Dejanović will continue serving his sentence until its expiration and was arrested on June 19 this year.
