This is the best summary I could come up with:

In an assault that has fuelled fears about the future of democracy in the country, Nikola Sandulović’s family say he was taken from his home on 3 January after making an apology for crimes committed by Serbs against ethnic Albanians during the Kosovan war of independence in 1988 and 1989.

On Wednesday after the first family visit allowed for five days, Sandulović’s daughter Karla called for her father to be transferred to a civilian hospital from the military facility in Belgrade in which he was being held.

“He is communicative but he is paralysed completely on the right side; in a wheelchair, and in a very very poor health condition,” she said in a statement issued via Michael Polak, a barrister in the UK and the director of Justice Abroad, who is acting for the politician.

Sandulović was fiercely criticised in state media after reposting a video from last year in which he visited the grave of Adem Jashari, a founder of the Kosovo Liberation Army who was killed by Serbian police in 1998 along with 57 members of his family during the Kosovan war of independence.

A judge ordered he be detained for 30 days after being charged, in absentia, with allegedly inciting national, racial and religious hatred, an offence under article 317 of the criminal code of conduct that can carry a prison sentence of between six months and five years.

The attack will raise fresh questions about Serbia’s stated intention to join the EU and fuel fears over its relations with neighbouring countries including Kosovo.
