Bulgaria arrests former Kosovo PM [Agim Ceku]
BBC News ^ | June 24, 2009 | BBC

A former Kosovo prime minister, Agim Ceku, has been arrested in Bulgaria on an international warrant issued by Serbia for alleged war crimes.

The Bulgarian interior ministry said Mr Ceku was detained as he crossed the border from Macedonia and a court would consider his case in the next few days.

Serbia accuses Mr Ceku of committing war crimes in 1998-99.

At the time he was commander of the ethnic-Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which was fighting Serbia.

He has dismissed the charges as politically motivated, and says the arrest warrant has no legal basis.

He was arrested at the Qustendil border crossing between Bulgaria and Macedonia on Tuesday evening.

Last month Mr Ceku was expelled from Colombia, after Serbia urged his arrest, but later he transited France en route to the Balkans.

He had previously been detained in 2006 in Slovenia and Hungary.

Kosovo declared independence in February 2008. Ethnic Albanians form the overwhelming majority of the population.

The US and more than 50 other countries have recognised its independence, but more than 100 have not, including Serbia and Russia.

Hey jerk-—this animal is your “hero”

The 2nd Battalion of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry came face to face with the savagery of which Ceku was capable.

Over 200 Serbian inhabitants of the Medak Pocket were slaughtered in a grotesque manner (the bodies of female rape victims were found after being burned alive). Our traumatized troops who buried the grisly remains were encouraged to collect evidence and were assured that the perpetrators would be brought to justice.

You never know Ceku an never know Ceku in realities. Search yourselves stories of politic real an you must mention truth or no speak again. Ever!

Your quoted material come from these people,

“Major funding for American RadioWorks is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This documentary was made possible, in part, by grants from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Open Society Institute, the Sandler Family Supporting Foundation, the United States Institute of Peace, and the Glaser Family Foundation.

Educate means more than saying what other people must be saying. Only brains tarnished by repetitive discognisense
are attempted to be trying that one, like the fellow in charge of the muslim mashup in holy holy land of iran muslims PBUH ? friday prayersite on campus u iranian khameini instructing daily practice session chanting for Iranian idol marg bar this and marg bar that, every five minutes to remind the 9incoheranbt repetitive beatings disconnecdted and such brain tarnishment damage so fluent like disillusionment is attained by repetive misplacement of common sense. Understand?

New York Times said, u Rusiji dogodine, very much leftist not seeing the trees for the forest is blockage the view.
Somethinks are some better leaving to elders, sometimes usually them seeing more clear truth, understanding now?
