Two Serbs cleared in case of murder of Kosovo police member

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA -- A three-member panel of EULEX judges found on Monday Radovan Radic and Milovan Vlaskovic of Zubin Potok, northern Kosovo, not guilty of killing Enver Zumberi.

Zumberi, a member of the Kosovo special police unit ROSU, was killed four years ago.

After the last week's closing argument of the defense, the two Serbs from Zubin Potok were acquitted on Monday on all seven counts of the indictment by the panel of judges presided by EULEX judge Paulo Teixeira at the Basic Court in northern Kosovska Mitrovica.

Radic and Vlaskovic were indicted for aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, unauthorized ownership, control, possession or use of weapons, obstructing officers in the course of their duties, endangering traffic, causing public danger and participating in a crowd committing a criminal offense.

The Radic and Vlaskovic trial began on December 9, 2014.

Member of the Kosovo special police unit ROSU Enver Zumberi was killed on July 26, 2011 in the northern part of Kosovo and Metohija when Kosovo police tried to seize control of administrative border crossings Jarinje and Brnjak.
