Ambassador requests Haradinaj's release

"Haradinaj is a necessary figure not only for his party, but also for Kosovo's political scene, primarily for the establishment of a credible democracy, the Norwegian ambassador noted."

-- Give me a break. The fact that this goon is behind bars awaiting retrial, not his release, is positive news for Kosovo's political scene and the establishment of credible democracy.

Personally know him? How much was he bribed/threatened into saying this?

The hell with what this clown from Norway wants - he must be corrupt like Shook and Walker. Money sure does corrupt...

Very disturbing that an ambassador comes out with that kind of statement..., let the justice makes it's own opinion!!

Amazing hypocrisy. Why not say:

"Mladic is a necessary figure not only for his party, but also for Serbia's political scene, primarily for the establishment of a credible democracy"

Do some people have shame?

@ PRN, I really am curious what your are smoking on, with illusions like that you really need to share. And the KLA being a liberation army LOL. The KLA was on the CIA list branded as a terrorist organization before the USA decided it needed a base in the Balkans.

"Haradinaj is a necessary figure not only for his party, but also for Kosovo's political scene, primarily for the establishment of a credible democracy, the Norwegian ambassador noted."

If an alleged war criminal is considered a "necessary figure" in the polital scene and for a "credible democracy", then I can only say: Good night, you 'democratic' and 'multiethnic' dream state of Kosovo.

Unbelieveable that the ambassador of Norway is telling those things. So far, I thought Norway isn't a banana republic. Shakehead...

So, as long as this criminal is a "good" politician it doesn't matter that he has blood on his hands from the killing of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent Serbs and Albanians loyal to Serbia. This norwegian is a dissgrace.

War criminals should be tried and punished. It's good for a people to disassociate themselves from war criminals. For instance, whether one wants to agree with it or not, Serbia has benefited from disassociating itself from Milosevic and others. Whether one believes they are guilty or not, everyone benefits once these individuals are on trial. So, if I were an Albanian, I'd agree with him being sent to trial

Why in the world the Norvegian ambassador would care about Haradinaj?!!
And if he is innocent why not let the proceedings go on and prove his innocence?!!
Because you were a “freedom fighter” does not give you immunity on atrocities towards civilians.

Yeah PRN, of course the KLA was 'clean' just like Al Capone.

But I can't see your prediction of hero status coming true for the KLA or it having the same T-Shirt status as the beautiful Che.

People wouldn't even know what the KLA was.

It must sometimes be nice living in your parallel universe.

Rambo is key to the stability of KOsovo and the region. The Hague has to reconfirm his previous decision to free him ASAP because Kosovo needs him.

He was one of the top leaders in the KLA, which was a clean army and such he MUST be clean too.

BTW the KLA is becoming an international brand against occupation, just like Che Guevara with people using it as fashion.

Sorry I found this statement by the Ambassador to be pretty comical.

We all know who Haradinaj is, including most at the Hague. When somebody comes out with a statement like this we know something is not right.

Haradinaj if he ever was necessary, is not necessary now. Indeed I'm sure he has 'capable' men to take his place if he takes some years off.

I said it before will say it again and again, this man is a criminal. Just like any other criminal gang. I read that this is house cleaning for Thaqi to be in power since he is US man in Kosovo.

It seems Eulex is opening doors by sending to prison or taking any credibility from any candidate that would threaten Thaqi.

He got out with human intimidation so he should go to jail and never ever come out him and his brothers by the way Kosovo will be a better place.

What a shame

"The former OVK leader was immediately arrested and placed in prison at a sealed order issued by the Tribunal. "

The second-in-command at Eulex - Roy Reeves - said he was not arrested, he went voluntarily. And Eulex was the organization in charge of getting him to the Hague.
