The arrest of Bogdan Mitrovic (Tanjug, file)
His lawyer Dejan Vasic said at the time that Mitrovic was arrested based on the statements of one person - his former neighbor, Xheladin Sadikaj - who is also in charge of organizing the return of the Serbs driven out of their homes in the Suva Reka municipality.
Speaking after he was released, Mitrovic said that he had been on good terms with his ethnic Albanian neighbors, and that all witnesses who testified during the trial spoke in his favor.
"After we became refugees from our native village we visited at least ten times and there had been no problems. However, the very person who usurped my property, Xheladin Sadikaj, became the head of a working group for the return of the displaced Serbs in Suva Reka. Then the problems started," he explained.
Mitrovic - who said he was treated well in jail, but found the injustice of the situation the hardest to bear - thinks he ended up accused of war crimes and imprisoned because Sadikaj wanted to take his property, but also to intimidate the Serbs and discourage them from returning.
At the time of the arrest, Belgrade and the Serb List in Kosovo also described the case as the desire of the Albanians to intimidate the Serbs and discourage their return to the homes and the property from which they were forcibly driven out.
The head of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Marko Djuric, said Mitrovic was put behind bars "just because he is a Serb man" - and because of an attempt to take over his property. According to Djuric, the release is the result of great efforts invested by the defense team and by President Aleksandar Vucic, who was bringing up the issue "in every meeting with top EU and other international officials."
Referring to the manner in which Mitrovic was arrested, Djuric said:
"His wife, children and grandchildren should not have watched masked special police forces put a hood on his head and take him to an unknown location, brutally violating his human rights. That innocent man spent the next four and a half months in the part of the prison meant for the worst criminals just because he is a Serb."
Djuric also urged the release of other "political prisoners" in Kosovo: Darko Tasic from Prizren, Milanka Terzic from Pec, Zoran Vukotic from Vucitrn, "and everyone else who is behind bars just for being Serb."
He also vowed that Serbian authorities would continue to work to "right the injustice done to our people."
Albanian's are the masters of theft in particular to land that does not belong to them.

You forgot to identify the parcels of land for which the above happened (unless, of course, what you wrote was just pure fantasy)!

Putting an Albanian in charge of land/home allocations to returning Serbian refugees is like housing a paedophile next to a primary school. Albanian's are the masters of theft in particular to land that does not belong to them.

The photo very dramatic, I actually see my self, sirotina i Bogu teska, shame on that humanity that permits this discrimination ! So we the innocent must suffer in all forms, this is what the USA, England and Hitler like to see ! I look back at my life with only tears, I don't understand the hate this world given to me ! I see all people equal and I believe we all come from Adam and Eve and the humans begin in Afrika but why this world so evil and wicked ? So in my life I knew Albanian people of the tugina and all I saw was humanity like my self trying to survive the best way we all could. Why we the innocent Serbian sirotina ethnically cleansed from our ancient homes and land in Kosovo and Srpska Krajina, why so much hatred for me and my fellow Serbian Brothers and Sisters who only desire to live in peace and dignity ???

The Serbs have no credibility, their word means nothing, they have no honor. Sorry guys, Mitrovic will remain in Podujevo until further notice.

Nice to know that in the end, the lack of credibility and having no honor comes from the people we in the First World long suspected. All it takes is the "word" of a local village idiot squawking "war crimes" and a man is arrested and detained for months without due process or even probable cause.
Meanwhile overwhelming evidence exists about the criminality of more than half of "Kosova's" Albanian leadership and those accused are scrambling for US visas and passports while looking for ways to murder witnesses and piss their international supporters :)
