Police official Korab Pepaj has issued a message to family and friends, two days after the Constitutional Court in Mitrovica sentenced him in a three-year retrial for attempted murder of Milan Jovanovic.

Family friends, pleasure to have you close to your day, says the posting published on Facebook by the account Khoki Pepaú. The post mentions no bias. Some commentators have expressed support to Pepate.

As the Signal newspaper reported, the indictment was declared on November 13, 2026. The court pronounced Pepate the same sentence as in the first trial, after the Court of Appeals had turned the subject into retrial.

The case relates to Jovanovic’s injury on April 10th 2023 near the Bistrica Bridge police checkpoint on Leposaviq Mitrovica Street. According to the indictment, Pepay twice fired the official weapon towards Jovanovic’s vehicle, after the latter, according to the prosecution, disobeyed the order to stop. Jovanovi was wounded on the right flank.

Pepate’s defense has argued that the intention to kill Jovanovic has been proven. The act pronounced in the retrial could be filed at the Court of Appeals.

Note: The people mentioned in this news are considered innocent until their guilt is confirmed by court’s firm form.

The signal where the truth speaks before the news!
