Yesterday, the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, reacted to this news on Twitter.

Дејан Пантић кога је прво Kосовска полиција држала у бази на Јарињу данима без лекова и контакта с породицом, а који је тек после снажног притиска Срба с KиМ и дипломатске акције Београда крајем године пребачен у кућни притвор, данас је пуштен да се брани са слободе! 1/2 pic.twitter.com/DikgwaYrjU— Петар Петковић (@PetkovicPetar) September 6, 2023

"Dejan Pantic, who was first held by the Kosovo police at the base in Jarinje for days without medication or contact with his family, and who was transferred to house arrest only after strong pressure from Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija and diplomatic action from Belgrade at the end of the year, was today released until the end of the trial!," Petkovic wrote, and added:

"Dejan's house arrest was lifted on bail and he will finally be able to be free. Both he and his family went through a true ordeal, but they received some good news. Serbia does not forget her innocently arrested compatriots and will continue the fight for each of them!"
