Former Kosovo Prime Minister Agim Ceku has been arrested in Bulgaria on charges of committing war crimes during the 1998-1999 war. He is wanted in Serbia for crimes allegedly committed when he was military chief of the Kosovo Liberation Army in the war in the then Serbian-ruled Kosovo. “Agim Ceku was arrested Tuesday at Geshevo when he entered Bulgaria following an Interpol red notice,” or an international arrest warrant, spokeswoman of the Interior Ministry Diana Yankulova reportedly said.
He earlier criticised Serbia for misusing its membership of Interpol after he was expelled from Colombia. It is not the first time an Interpol warrant initiated from Serbia has caught up with Ceku. He had previously been detained in 2006 in Slovenia and Hungary.
