On 8 September 2010 the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) issued a Decision in the Haris Čaušević et al. case ordering Adnan Haračić, suspected of the criminal offence of Terrorism, into one-month custody. Pursuant to this Decision his custody may last until 4 October 2010.

Having examined the submitted evidence, the Court concluded that there is grounded suspicion that the suspect committed the criminal offence he has been charged with. The Court ordered the custody having found that there are particular circumstances indicating that, if released, he might hinder the inquiry by influencing the witnesses and accomplices. The Court also ordered custody due to the particular circumstances which justify the fear that, if released, the suspect would repeat the criminal offence or complete the attempted criminal offence. Furthermore, the Court ordered custody due to exceptional circumstances, for this a criminal offence carrying a prison sentence of ten years or a more severe punishment, taking into account the manner of its perpetration or its consequences, as the release of the suspect would pose a realistic threat to public order.
