Arsić has been in prison since October 2019 and Vidosava’s mother has been waiting for her son to return for a full 14 months.

He spent the night after his sentence caressing his blanket with which he covered him like a baby.

– Will I welcome my son alive? I no longer need anything, I no longer have the strength for life or anything. Just to get my son back, in tears, broken by pain, Vidosava said.

After talking with Grandma Vid, the Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petković, said that the state would do everything possible and continue to help Arsić.

– There is no image more shocking than the scene of a mother crying in pain waiting for her child. Vida’s mother has been waiting for her son Nenad, innocent in Pristina prison for more than a year. He is a victim of the Pristina judiciary, which is an instrument in the hands of Albanian politicians who thus dedicate themselves to the Serbian people and the state of Serbia.

– This shameful verdict shows what Pristina is doing and how she wants to create an artificial balance, since not only Albanians committed crimes. The verdict is also a message to Serbs to leave Kosovo and Metohija and intimidate those who wish to return. The state of Serbia, President Aleksandar Vučić and the Office for Kosovo and Metohija are doing their best to help this honest family, we have provided them with a lawyer and I have informed EULEX to point out what kind of rights violation this is. I hope that Nenad is released and that his mother Vidi returns – said Petković.

Nenad’s sister, Verica, thanked the state of Serbia, President Vučić and the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, and lawyer Dejan Vasić for their help and support.

-Six years is a long time for an innocent man, as good and noble as our Nenad. He did no harm and we will fight to get him home. With faith in God, may our Nenad reach his mother, who is 87 years old and lives alone – says Verica.
She says that despite everything they went through, they will not sell the house in Čaglavica, and that this is Nenad’s message from prison.

Nenad Arsić, originally from Čaglavica, was arrested on October 22, 2019 at the Merdare crossing, while going to obtain personal documents. For years, he went to Kosovo and Metohija without any problems, until last year he was arrested. The case against him is based on unfounded witness testimony and, according to unofficial information, his Albanian neighbors reported him to those who did not want to sell the property.
