The former commander of the General Staff of Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), Agim Ceku is expected to be questioned as a suspect at The Hague-based Kosovo Special Prosecutor’s Office on Monday, media outlets in Albania, Kosovo and Serbia reported on Sunday.
Ceku, 59, confirmed to the media in early September that he had been summoned as a suspect and that he was going to The Hague on September 28.
The former commander has said that KLA had not committed any crimes and he is available for answers to international justice.
According to the warrant of Serbia for war crimes in Kosovo as Tanjug reported on Sunday, Ceku had been arrested and detained at the borders three times so far – in Bulgaria, Slovenia, Hungary, while he was expelled from Colombia. But he has never been extradited to Serbia.
In May 1999, he was appointed commander of the KLA General Staff and after the independence of Kosovo from Serbia, Ceku founded a political party, and from 2006 to 2008 he was the Prime Minister of Kosovo.
It is reported that the Hague special prosecutors have interviewed more than 200 former KLA fighters under the allegations of murder, torture and illegal detentions. /argumentum.al
