Croatian Davor Bilic has been stuck in Serbia for the past seven months after police confiscated his passport for participating in an anarchist demonstration.
The Croat had gone to the Serbian capital in February to lend support to six of his colleagues on trial for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails at the Greek embassy in the Serbian capital in August 2009. Bilic was arrested on February 17 after displaying a sign that read "Anarchism is not Terrorism" in the courtroom's window.
He was kept in the detention for 48 hours and was charged with disruption of justice. His accused colleagues known as the "Belgrade six" were freed on June 16, but Bilic remains in Serbia after the prosecution appealed the court's decision to drop the charges against him. The court has not yet reviewed the appeal five months on.
The Network of Anarcho-Syndicalists in Croatia is planning a protest in front of the Ministry of Justice in Belgrade on September 13, in solidarity for their colleague. They say he is living on assistance from friends, the daily Jutarnji List writes.
