Back Towards The Locus

Former Kosovo prime minister Agim Ceku, who is wanted in Serbia on war crimes charges, was arrested Tuesday in Bulgaria, the interior ministry said.

“Agim Ceku was arrested Tuesday at Geshevo when he entered Bulgaria following an Interpol red notice,” or an international arrest warrant, spokeswoman Diana Yankulova told AFP.

Ceku had been wanted by Interpol before, but was dropped when he became prime minister: “in line with international jurisprudence that international arrest warrants against persons enjoying immunity under international law* – such as Foreign Affairs Ministers and Heads of State and Heads of Government – should not be issued“. If Kosovo thinks that the charges will stick, then, they’ll give him immediate promotion.
