At the same time, he resigned as president of so-called Kosovo.

He will go to The Hague voluntarily.

However, there is no official confirmation from the Specialist Prosecutor's Office yet.

Until the court publishes that information, the dilemma remains whether Thaci wanted to get one step ahead of the court in order to avoid getting detained.

He explained his resignation as president by wishing not to appear in court as president.

"In order to protect the integrity of Kosovo, while respecting friendship with the international community, I am resigning from the position of president. I am very proud of the responsibility I have," Thaci said.

As he said, under these circumstances, he calls on all political forces not to deepen the institutional crisis, and to preserve calm.
