Court of BiH abolished the detention for Fahrudin Radoncic, leader of SBB BiH, as confirmed by his lawyer, Asim Crnalic.
This way, the proposal of the defense that Radoncic defends himself from the freedom were accepted. He was detained for two and a half months, and the prohibitive measures were imposed to him.
Fahrudin Radoncic left the detention unit, after the Court issued a decision of abolition of custody that he was in for two and a half months.
“I’m glad I got out of prison. Due to bad experiences, this time I will not give any statements. It will be done by my lawyers,” said Radoncic.
Asim Crnalic then explained what prohibiting measures include in this case.
“Leaving the residence – the Sarajevo Canton, ban on meeting with witnesses and travel ban provided that the control measures are a bit softer this time. He should report to the police department every 7 days and with the permission of the Court he may leave the Canton as well. He will be able to do his job because he is practically a free man. It does not matter whether he will stay in the tower or on a family farm,” said Crnalic.
Crnalic explained that this time he is not under house arrest.
“The measures are softer this time. It is important to emphasize that under the terms of the authorization of the Court, he can leave the Sarajevo Canton as well.”
Journalists were interested whether Radoncic, given the fact that he is the President of SBB and delegate in the House of Peoples of BiH, will be able to do his job, and the lawyer Muhidin Kapo answered affirmatively:
“He will be able to do his job because he is practically a free man within the framework of the Canton Sarajevo. He will have to take into account the measures of prohibition of meeting with witnesses,” added Crnalic.
On the question whether they are satisfied with today’s decision of the Court, Crnalic and Kapo said that the detention lasted for too long.
“We will do our best to ease these measures, because you know that Radoncic is a politician and that local elections will be held soon and that he should act as a politician, but under these restrictions he is unlikely to be able to work. True, the Court may grant permission but that’s one procedural frustration for a man who should be dealing with politics in a relaxed way, said lawyer Crnalic.
