The leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, announced today he will sue Serbian newspaper Blic for defamation and that he expects compensation as well. Haradinaj’s lawyer, Arianit Koci, said he will stay in Belgrade for a few days to gather facts regarding the case. “From what I’ve read, I am really surprised with Blic’s lack of professionalism,” Koci said. “This goes in the category of defamation and we will treat it as such. This can be a long process because it is a sensitive situation. I hope in professionalism of the justice bodies in Serbia,” he said. Regarding the request for compensation, Koci did not give any specific figures, saying that he believes that the money will be used for charity, and that more important is winning the case. The Belgrade-based newspaper Blic published an article on Monday saying that "Haradinaj leads one of the most powerful crime clans in Kosovo which uses a route through Serbia to smuggle weapons."
