The Court of Appeal in the French city of Colmar on Thursday, March 2, to announce in a public session a decision on Serbia’s request for the extradition of Ramush Haradinaj on suspicion that he committed war crimes in Kosovo, Tanjug learns from the court.
The Court in Colmar has three options in its decision making, a spokeswoman of the court Sandra di Rosa told Tanjug.
“Investigation Department of the Appellate Court may order the collection of additional information and seek further review of the case at the next session. It can also have a positive opinion on Serbia’s request for extradition or it may not agree with it,” said di Rosa.
According to her, if the Court of Appeal in Colmar has a negative opinion on the Serbia’s request, Haradinaj’s extradition will not be possible.
Thereafter, Haradinaj will be free to leave France, and Serbia would not have the right to appeal the decision.
However, if the appellate court finds that the conditions are met for the extradition of Haradinaj, the final decision on extradition would be made by the French government, said a spokeswoman for the court in Colmar.
