Former KLA wanted by Serbia escapes in North Macedonia

(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUG 16 - Bljerim Ramadani, a former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) militant, has escaped from house arrest in North Macedonia. On July 17, he was apprehended in the Balkan country pursuant to an arrest warrant issued by Serbia through Interpol.
    Belgrade had hoped for the quick extradition of the former Kosovar guerrilla, who was a member of the KLA's operational formation responsible for the persecution of hundreds of Serbs from various locations in Kosovo during the 1998-1999 armed conflict, as well as the burning and destruction of Serb and Orthodox churches, and the kidnapping and murder of dozens.
