Earlier in the day Limaj, an official of the second strongest local
Albanian party (the Democratic Party of Kosovo led by Hashim Thaqi)
phoned the Kosovo RTV station from Austria where he was temporarily
staying and said he would turn himself in to the Hague-based UN war
crimes tribunal.
Limaj, together with other three Kosovo Albanians, is indicted by
the ICTY for the abuse and killing of prisoners -- Serb and Albanian
civilians -- kept at Lapusnik jail near Glogovac in 1998. Their
indictment was unsealed on Tuesday.
The three men -- Haradin Bala, Isak Musliu and Agim Murtezi -- were
arrested by international police units in Kosovo on Monday and
transferred to the detention centre of the ICTY (International
Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia) in Scheveningen on
Tuesday.
