Kosovo asked the European Union on Thursday to press aspirant member state Serbia to drop international arrest warrants for former Kosovar guerrillas including one for an ex-prime minister who was detained in France this week.
Wednesday's arrest of Ramush Haradinaj - who was a Kosovo guerrilla commander during the 1998-99 war against Serbian rule - prompted angry Kosovo government and opposition leaders to call for a halt to EU-mediated normalization talks between Serbia and its former, mainly ethnic Albanian province.
The talks are an EU precondition for both countries to make progress towards membership of the bloc.
