Ex-Kosovo premier, wanted by Serbia, faces French court
PARIS- A former Kosovar prime minister is facing possible extradition to Serbia to face war crimes charges after being arrested at a French airport.
Ramush Haradinaj is scheduled to appear Thursday in a court in Colmar in eastern France. The court will decide whether to keep him in custody during extradition proceedings or release him under judicial supervision, court official Marie-Helene Calvano said.
At an unspecified later date, the court will decide on whether to approve extradition.
Haradinaj, a former guerrilla fighter in Kosovo's 1998-1999 war for independence from Serbia, was detained Wednesday at Basel Mulhouse Freiburg airport, on the border with Switzerland and Germany, on a Serbian warrant.
