Popovic voluntarily pleaded guilty to the charges against him.

The prosecutor emphasized that the agreement was reached in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code.

The prosecution had requested a six-month prison sentence, which was converted to a 3,000-euro fine, deportation, and a ban on entering Kosovo for the next two years.

Attorney Milos Delevic stated that they stand by the agreement with the prosecution.

According to the prosecution, Popovic deliberately incited and publicly spread hatred and intolerance between ethnic groups on July 18 in Orahovac.

Popovic was arrested at the Brnjak border crossing on July 18, following the commemoration of the anniversary of the suffering of Serbs in Orahovac, after which he was placed in custody for up to 30 days.
