Misdemeanor Court

The ethnic Albanian vice-president of the Montenegrin parliament, Genci Nimanbegu, has claimed that Albanians, who make up about 5 per cent of the  country's population, remain discriminated against in the public sector, pointing as an example to the small multi-ethnic municipalities of Plav and Gusinje.

Vucic asked for all protesters who were handed down misdemeanor sentences for entering by force the building of the public broadcaster RTS on Saturday, and during a protest in front of the Serbian Presidency the next day, Tanjug said it learned from the cabinet of the president of the Republic.

Perkovic stood accused of disturbing the public order and peace, and the Misdemeanor Court in the town of Slunj found that him shouting the greeting in question ("Za dom spremni" in Croatian) did not represent incitement to hatred.

The judge read out the verdict to say that the greeting is "an integral part of the lyrics to the song 'Bojna Cavoglave' which he has authored."

Markovic-Ilieski, who is the president of the Misdemeanor Court in Sremska Mitrovica, northwestern Serbia, received serious injuries and was taken to emergency medical care in a grave psychological and physical condition, the Association of Misdemeanor Judges announced on Wednesday.
