STRASBOURG, France (Reuters) - A French appeals court ordered the release of ex Kosovo prime minister Ramush Haradinaj on Thursday, but said the guerrilla commander during the 1998-99 Kosovo war would have to stay in France pending a review of a Serbian extradition request.
Authorities had detained Haradinaj as he flew into France on Jan. 4 following a request from Serbia, which says he is a war criminal for his role in leading a guerrilla insurgency in its former southern province of Kosovo.
