The state court in Sarajevo on Wednesday acquitted the leader of the Alliance for a Better Future for Bosnia party, businessman Fahrudin Radoncic, of obstructing the work of the judiciary, along with three other defendants.

The trial of the leader of the Alliance for a Better Future for Bosnia, SBBBiH, Fahrudin Radoncic, his party colleague, Bakir Dautbasic, Dautbasic's partner, Bilsena Sahman, and a former employee of the US embassy in Sarajevo, Zijad Hadzijahic, started on Wednesday.

Bosnia's State Court on Friday ordered Fahrudin Radoncic, the tycoon and leader of the Alliance for the Better Future of Bosnia and Herzegovina, SBBBiH, back into detention.

He had violated the restrictions imposed on him during house arrest, the court said by way of explanation.

Bosnia's State Prosecution said the recently arrested politician Fahrudin Radoncic put pressure on Azra Saric - a witness in the trial of the alleged drugs baron Naser Kelmendi in Kosovo - so that she would give false testimony, which is why it has sought detention for him for one month.

Fahrudin Radoncic, the leader of the Alliance for a Better Future of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SBBBiH) said on Sunday that he is ready to testify at the trial of the alleged Balkan drug lord Naser Kelmendi which is currently underway in the Kosovo capital Pristina.

Bakir Dautbasic, a politician from the ruling Alliance for the Better Future of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SBBBiH), was confirmed on Thursday as the party's candidate for the position of Minister of Transport and Communications despite having been arrested on Monday.
