Kosovo’s former prime minister surrendered to the U.N. war crimes tribunal at The Hague, a day after resigning.
Ramush Haradinaj arrived at the U.N. detention unit under police escort after a flight from Pristina.
He is to be charged in connection with atrocities allegedly committed during the 1998-99 war between ethnic Albanian separatists and Serb forces.
Serbian officials accuse him of command responsibility in the alleged killing of Serb civilians by the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army in 1998. Haradinaj has denied the charges. Kosovo remains a province of Serbia and Montenegro, but is administered by the United Nations.
