B92 - News - Crime & War crimes - Extradition of K. Albanian gangster requested from Belgrade: "Slovakia's Justice Ministry has asked Belgrade to extradite a suspected leader of the Kosovo Albanian mafia in Slovakia.

Baki Sadiki is believed to be in Kosovo, and his extradition was requested from Belgrade rather than from the EU mission in Kosovo, EULEX, said reports.

A spokesman for the Slovakian Justice Ministry said the request went to Belgrade since Bratislava country does not recognize the unilateral independence declaration made by Kosovo's Albanians two years ago.

But Slovakia's Foreign Affairs Ministry warned that the extradition request should have been sent to EULEX instead.

Slovakian police, said reports, have no reliable information that Sadiki is still in Kosovo, “where he did not worry that he might be arrested because the extradition request was sent only to Serbia, and where he moved freely although Kosovo police knew exactly where he was”."
