Speaking on condition of anonymity, the source said the appeal was lodged after 4 pm and that the two students were represented by a Croatian lawyer. The source declined to reveal the lawyer's name or details of the appeal which will be dealt with by the Senior Magistrate's Court.
This court's president, Zeljko Potocki, told Hina earlier that no appeal was received by 4 pm.
Three Serbian students were arrested on Zagreb's central square on Saturday afternoon after two of them, 24-year-old women, photographed their 25-year-old colleague with a picture of Mihailovic, a convicted WWII criminal, in his hands. Some disgruntled citizens who saw this reported them to the police, after which the three students were arrested.
Yesterday, Zagreb's Magistrate's Court sentenced the man to 15 and one of the women to five days in jail, while the second woman was acquitted because it was not proved she had taken part in the offence.
