Otherwise, the Ministry of Justice is responsible to seek extradition of persons arrested abroad on our wanted list in front of the country.

Haradinaj was arrested yesterday at the airport of Basel-Mulhouse on the French side, and on the basis of the arrest warrant issued by Serbia in 2004 for crimes in Kosovo committed in 1998 and 1999 that were not covered by the indictment of the ICTY. These are war crimes against the civilian population in the zone of Dukadjini responsibility in 1998 and 1999.

Will he be held in extradition custody or again, will he be released to freedom like in the case of 2015 Slovenia, it will be known today after the examination by the competent French prosecutor. 

Head of the Serbian War Crimes Prosecutor Milan Petrovic said yesterday that the prosecution has gathered more hard evidence that complement the charges filed against Haradinaj.

Haradinaj was also arrested in 2015 in Slovenia after Serbian warrant but was soon released.
