After presiding judge Alphons Orie read out the indictment and asked Haradinaj to enter his plea, the former Kosovo official said: "I am not guilty and I am offended by these accusations".
The trial of Haradinaj and another two former KLA members - Idriz Balaj and Lahi Brahimaj - begins on Monday, 5 March. Balaj and Brahimaj also pleaded not guilty to all counts of the indictment.
The indictment against Ramush Haradinaj, Idriz Balaj and Lahi Brahimaj alleges that all three participated in a joint criminal enterprise, the purpose of which was the consolidation of total control of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) over the KLA operational zone of Dukagjin, by the unlawful removal and mistreatment of Serb civilians and by the mistreatment of Kosovar Albanians, Kosovar Roma and other civilians, who were, or were perceived to have been, collaborating with Serbian Forces or not supporting the KLA.
If found guilty, the three man could be sentenced to life in prison.
