The applicant, Ljubiša Vrenčev, is a Serbian national who was born in 1968 and lives in Pančevo (Serbia). Detained on 6 July 2004 on suspicion of illicit possession of narcotics, Mr Vrenčev was released 20 days later following a hearing in which he was found guilty and given a fine. The case concerns Mr Vrenčev’s complaint about the unlawfulness of that detention because, essentially, the domestic courts had failed to note his correct address. He relies on Article 5 §§ 1, 3, 4 and 5 (right to liberty and security).
