The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) deputy leader, Ardian Gjini, asked the government of Kosovo to halt talks with Serbia and ban Serbian officials entering Kosovo following the detention of the party leader Ramush Haradinaj by French police on an arrest warrant issued by Serbia. In a press conference today, Gjini said Haradinaj is expected to appear before a court today in France and that they hope the French authorities will realize that Serbia’s arrest warrants against Kosovo leaders are not aimed at serving justice but instead at denigrating Kosovo.

Kosovo's Minister for Dialogue, Edita Tahiri, said Kosovo authorities should introduce reciprocity measures towards Serbia's arrest warrants against Kosovo citizens. “We need to implement reciprocity measures. At the end of the day, it was Serbia that committed genocide and the most heinous crimes against humanity here,” Tahiri said following the French authorities’ detention of AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj on an arrest warrant issued by Serbia through Interpol.

The front-page editorial of the paper notes that arrests of Kosovo Albanians based on arrest warrants issued by Serbian authorities, remain a challenge in the relations between the two countries. “Even Kosovo senior officials and well-known politicians became victims of these decisions; however, due to the sensitivity of the cases, they were released after the mediation of the internationals. However, when ordinary citizens, who do not carry senior positions, are concerned, their suffering is limitless.
