Court confirms verdict for attack on police

The sentences were confirmed for Miloš Radisavljević as one of the leaders of a football supporters group known as "Alcatraz", his father Rade, and Bojan Hrvatin.

The suspects were sentenced by the first-instance ruling for stoning police officers and breaking up the police cordon near the Bajrakli Mosque when two members of the Interior Ministry were seriously injured.

Although the trial was reported in the media as the incident of burning the Bajrakli Mosque, the indictment did not charge any of the suspects with arson; instead, the charges covered the criminal act of participation in group violence.

During the trial, Belgrade Mufti Muhamed Jusufspahić testified in Radisavljević's defence and claimed that the suspects did not set fire to the mosque and that they were trying to help prevent riots.

In case of Rade Radisavljević, the court revoked the previously pronounced suspended sentence for the duration of six months and pronounced a consolidated sentence of eight months of imprisonment.

Hrvatin also received a consolidated sentence of 15 years of imprisonment as he had previously been found guilty of the murder of a football fan onboard a train.

In the night between March 17 and 18, 2004, protests broke out in Belgrade over the pogrom of Serbs in Kosovo launched by Albanian extremists on the same day.
