The speaker of Kosovo’s parliament is demanding Serbia release 10 men accused of war crimes carried out by ethnic Albanian guerrillas.
Jakup Krasniqi condemned the arrests Saturday and said the Serbian action was meant to provoke the not yet year-old country.
Serbian police arrested the men Friday after searching the southern town of Presevo, a predominantly ethnic Albanian area. Serbian officials say the 10 had been members of the Kosovo Liberation Army and committed war crimes during the Kosovo conflict.
