The former prime minister of Kosovo and ex Leader of the UCK, Ramush Harradinaj has been arrested in France on a Serbian warrant. Harradinaj is being sought for crimes against Serbs, Rroma, and other minorities in Kosovo during the Kosovo war. This resulted in an outrage in Kosovo, but fact is, Kosovo was ethnically cleansed under his rule, and very thoroughly so, with only 10% of the Rroma remaining.
Nothing could ever be proven against him, but many witnesses were pressured and intimidated if not simply vanished (we know such cases).
