Vasic told the press that Delibasic, a retired lieutenant colonel of the Serbian Ministry of the Interior, was arrested on suspicion that he committed several grave crimes during 1999 and 2000. Oliver Ivanovic is charged with the same crimes. An international judge at the Mitrovica Basic Court placed Ivanovic in detention for one month in January, Vasic said. Delibasic was transferred to Pristina, where he will face a police interview in the premises of the Kosovo special prosecution on Wednesday, Vasic added. Kosovo media reported that Delibasic is suspected of war crime and accountable for the murder of several Kosovo Albanians in Kosovska Mitrovica on February 3, 2000. EULEX Spokesperson Irina Gudeljevic confirmed to the press earlier that EULEX police arrested one person in northern Kosovo on Tuesday evening, saying that more will be known later in the day.
