(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JULY 23 - The resigning Kosovo PM Ramush
Haradinaj is at the Pristina airport, waiting to fly to The
Hague, where he will be questioned tomorrow as a suspect by the
Special Tribunal for the KLA crimes, the Kosovo Liberation Army
of which he was one of the leaders.
The departure (via Vienna) had been scheduled for mid-day but
- according to Belgrade-based media - it was delayed for a few
hours due to the delayed flight arriving from the Austrian
capital.
On 19 July, Haradinaj resigned as head of government to
appear before the judges as a normal citizen and not as prime
minister. Haradinaj reiterated his political position on
Facebook, saying that Kosovo "is stronger than ever, moving
towards Euro-Atlantic integration, deployed in favor of peace
and close friend of the United States". Kosovo - he added - is
ready to talk with Serbia to reach a final agreement providing
for mutual recognition in the current borders.
At the same time, Kosovo premier reiterated that tariffs
increased by 100% on imports from Serbia will be abolished only
when Belgrade recognizes Kosovo's independence. (ANSA).
