Judge orders release former Prime Minister of Kosovo

Former Prime Minister of Kosovo Ramush Haradinaj should be released.

According to that country Haradinaj is a war criminal. He was a guerrilla commander during the Kosovo war of 1998 and 1999. The predominantly inhabited by Muslim Albanian Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008 but Belgrade regards it as a renegade Serbian province.

The Yugoslavia Tribunal in The Hague, Haradinaj twice acquitted of murder, rape and torture during the war. That members of the 'Kosovo Liberation Army' (KLA) were guilty of human rights violations tribunal considered it plausible, but too little evidence for the judges saw implication of Haradinaj.
