Ramush Haradinaj cannot be extradited to Albania merely on account of having Albanian citizenship as it is not a basis for seeking extradition.

Kosovo Minister for Dialogue Edita Tahiri says that Belgrade-Pristina negotiations in Brussels could continue "only when Ramush Haradinaj returns to Kosovo."

The Court of Appeals in Colmar, France, on Thursday once again postponed its decision on Serbia's extradition warrant for Ramush Haradinaj for April 27.

Haradinaj, an ethnic Albanian politician in Kosovo and a former leader of the KLA ("Kosovo Liberation Army") is wanted in Serbia on charges of war crimes committed in Kosovo and Metohija in 1998 and 1999.

The Court of Appeals in Colmar, France, on Thursday once again postponed its decision on Serbia's extradition warrant for Ramush Haradinaj for April 27.

"Serbia has sent additional evidence against former leader of the paramilitary formation KLA Ramush Haradinaj" to France, writes Blic.

Ivica Dacic says the Haradinaj case has been "politicized" and that the ethnic Albanian politician and former KLA leader will "probably not be extradited."

Haradinaj was detained in France in early January on a Serbian war crimes warrant, and was later released but forced to stay in that country until a decision on Serbia's extradition request has been made.

The Court of Appeals in Colmar, France, on Thursday decided to postpone its decision on whether to extradite Ramush Haradinaj to Serbia.

BELGRADE - Although there is a possibility of Alliance for the Future of Kosovo leader Ramus Haradinaj being tried by the special court for crimes committed by the "Kosovo Liberation Army", he cannot be extradited because the court is still in the process of formation and has not requested his extradition.

Former premier and ex-guerrilla commander Ramush Haradinaj, who was arrested in France over Serbian war crimes allegations, accused Belgrade of abusing the law by seeking his extradition.

BELGRADE - According to Deutsche Welle, talk about the possibility of France extraditing Ramush Haradinaj to the Special Court for KLA crimes is growing louder.

The head of the Serbian War Crimes Prosecution, Milan Petrovic, confirmed that this is a possibility, the German broadcaster said in a report published on its Serbian service website.
