Ramush Haradinaj is the most senior ethnic Albanian indicted by the Hague tribunal
Former Kosovan Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj is going back on trial at The Hague in its first-ever partial retrial for war crimes.
He is due to re-appear before the UN War Crimes Tribunal after his 2008 acquittal was overturned on grounds of witness intimidation.
The former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) fighter and two co-accused are being retried.
It is the first partial retrial ordered by the UN War Crimes Tribunal.
It follows an appeal by the prosecution against the acquittal in 2008 of Mr Haradinaj.
The indictment against all three defendants alleged they had been involved in a joint criminal enterprise to establish KLA control in western Kosovo through detention camps.
One of Mr Haradinaj's co-defendants, Lahi Brahimaj, was convicted in 2008 of torture and sentenced to six years, but is now being retried on four additional counts.
Witness intimidation
Ethnic Serbs and Albanians who were deemed to have collaborated with Serbs were allegedly tortured and killed there, with 39 bodies found.
