A Belgrade judge on Wednesday ignored public prosecutor’s call that Radoicic be kept in custody because he could flee, and ruled that he was banned from leaving Serbia. He should also report to the authorities twice a month pending a trial, the judge said.
Radoicic was a deputy leader of the Serbian List party in Kosovo, which is closely linked with Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party. He is known to own large properties both in Serbia in Kosovo, and has been linked by investigative media to shady businesses. Serbia has said it has withdrawn nearly half of its army troops from the border with Kosovo, after the United States and the EU expressed concern over the reported buildup of men and equipment and threatened sanctions.
