Goran Pavlovic

A Serbian citizen named Igor Despotovic has been arrested on suspicion of "glorifying terrorism", in that he "continuously and publicly presented and transmitted ideas directly through videos, photographs and texts encouraging the commission … of terrorism," the Belgrade Higher Court confirmed to BIRN.

Despotovic was arrested on Thursday and on Friday remanded in 30 days' custody.

Nine members of the terrorist organisation, the so-called Islamic State, ISIS, who have been on the Syrian front in the past, will soon be deported from US or Kurdish-run camps in northern Syria to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the country's Minister of Security, Dragan Mektic, confirmed to BIRN.

The Higher Court in Belgrade on Wednesday found seven people guilty of terrorism. It jailed Abid Podbicanin, Sead Plojovic and Tefik Mujovic for 11 years, Goran Pavlovic for ten, Iznudin Crnovrcanin and Rejhan Plojovic for nine and a half years, while Ferat Kasumovic got seven and a half years.

They stood accused of cooperating with Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and of recruiting citizens of Serbia to fight in the ranks of terrorists in the Middle East.

Three of the seven found guilty today remain at large, and have international arrest warrants issued against them.

The Prosecution for Organized Crime has indicted two men on charges of terrorism.

The indictments were filed against Goran Pavlovic from Belgrade and Rejhan Plojovic from Novi Pazar.
