The appellate court in Pristina on Thursday rejected the appeal filed the lawyer representing the assistant director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the Government of Serbia, Igor Popovic.

The court instead upheld the decision of the basic court in Pristina, which placed Popovic in detention for 30 days.

The court confirmed the first-instance decision, and said that Popovic cannot be sentenced to a milder measure than detention, Pristina-based Koha reported.

Popovic is suspected of allegedly causing "discord and intolerance" because he referred to the KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army") as a terrorist organization.

He did so on July 18 in the village of Velika Hoca in the municipality of Orahovac, during a commemoration for the 47 murdered and more than a hundred kidnapped Serbs and Romani by the KLA in this area in 1998.

Popovic was arrested on July 18 at the Brnjak administrative crossing.
