Former PM surrenders to war crimes tribunal

Kosovo’s former prime minister has surrendered to the UN war crimes tribunal a day after the ethnic Albanian resigned to face charges stemming from the province’s fight for independence from Belgrade.

Ramush Haradinaj, 36, arrived at the UN detention unit under police escort on Wednesday after travelling to The Hague on a special flight from Pristina. He will face charges of atrocities committed during the 1998-99 war between ethnic Albanian separatists and Serb forces.
