The basic court in Pristina sentenced Sinisa Jevtic and Ivan Sekulic, two Serbs who were arrested for allegedly organizing unrest in the north of Kosovo and Metohija at the end of May, to six months in prison and an additional sentence in the form of a ban on entering Kosovo, lawyer Milos Delevic has confirmed for Kosovo Online.

The prison sentence was replaced by a money fine.

In addition to being sentenced to six months in prison, Jevtic and Sekulic are also banned from entering Kosovo and Metohija for three years.

They were arrested at the Jarinje administrative crossing at the end of May.

"Sinisa Jevtic was sentenced to six months in prison today. At the suggestion of the defense, his prison sentence was replaced by a fine in the amount of 5,700 euros. The family collected the money, today I will pay the fine as his defense attorney and I expect that he will be released during the day," Jevtic's attorney Milos Delevic told Kosovo Online.

Jevtic and Sekulic were charged with the crimes of "participating in a protest" and "hooliganism" and their names were on Albin Kurti's list of persons he accused of organizing unrest in the north.

Kurti claims that Jevtic and Sekulic are members of a Red Star supporters' group.
