TIRANA, July 19 /ATA/ – Prime Minister of Kosovo Ramush Haradinaj has irrevocably resigned from his post on Friday.
Haradinaj chaired a cabinet meeting earlier today and announced his decision to step down, saying he had been called for questioning as suspect by the Special Tribunal in Hague.
“I irrevocably resign from the duty of the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo and I want to thank you all for your trust and support. The reason for this decision is that I have been called to appear for interrogation by the specialized Hague-based chambers as a suspect,” Haradinaj said.
This is the second time that Ramush Haradinaj resigns from the post of the Prime Minister as war crimes suspect. He stepped down in 2005 after being indicted by The Hague International Tribunal.
Haradinaj has been serving as Kosovo’s Prime Minister since the early elections in 2017.
