Gazimestan detainees fined 700 euros, with deportation and Kosovo entry ban
N1, citing Radio Kim, reports that the Basic Court in Pristina found several people detained at Gazimestan during Vidovdan guilty and fined each 700 euros. According to the decision, foreign nationals were also ordered deported from Kosovo and banned from entering for three years. The article says the stated reason was chanting "Kosovo je Srbija" and raising three fingers despite prior instructions not to display national symbols; the fine is due within 15 days and documents are returned after payment.
Gazimestan detainees fined 700 euros; people without Pristina documents expelled
Novosti, citing Tanjug, writes that the Basic Court of the provisional institutions in Pristina fined 36 people detained Sunday at Gazimestan after the memorial service to the Kosovo heroes 700 euros each. According to the article, people without documents of the provisional institutions will be expelled from Kosovo and Metohija. The text also says all 36 pleaded not guilty at Monday's hearing, and their documents had earlier been temporarily seized as a measure to ensure court appearance.
Overall takeaway
