Kosovo ex-prime minister and one of the leaders of the former Kosovo Liberation Army, Ramush Haradinaj, whose extradition to Serbia was denied by the French Court in Colmar, could still be tried for war crimes, experts say.

Despite the fact that, on Thursday, the Colmar Court decided not to extradite Haradinaj to Serbia, he could still face trial because there is no statute for limitation when it comes to war crimes, Vladimir Vukcevic, former Serbian Prosecutor for war crimes, told Insajder.

The European Parliament Vice-President and  rapporteur for Kosovo, Urlike Lunacek, hailed the decision of the Colmar Court not to extradite Ramush Haradinaj to Serbia. "I am very pleased that the French judiciary today rejected the extradition of the former Kosovo Prime Minister, Ramush Haradinaj, to Serbia, and that he was released with immediate effect.
