lol this funny situation proves acouple of facts:
1)That crook is kindaa smart and sharp minded
2)slovak police is corrupt, how could the criminal know that a raid was gonna happen at his home and escape on time? Obviously some info leaked there, had the slovak police done their job well, they would have spared a lot of futile effort with belgrade
3)The crook got away with a lot of trouble of getting divorced with his slovak wife, whom he married for documentation reasons.
4)in such cases slovak authorities should contact with tirana, and not beograd, tirana has many agreements with kosovo authorites, i saw kosovo police patroling cars a few kilometres from tirana...there are agreements between kosovo and albania regarding security during the extremely crowded touristic season in albania .

"If I commit a crime in Italy, and I move to Germany, the police in Germany will not arrest me unless the Italian side is going to send a request. Same principle applies here. Kosovo police is not going to arrest this guy unless they have a request from Slovakian police, or unless this guy commits a crime in Kosovo. "
(erion, 20 June 2010 21:34)

Right, with the only difference that, in Kosovo, EULEX is the responsible authority to issue those arrests warrents. That's why the Slovaks should have addressed EULEX.

American Eagle...you are missing the point here. Nobody is happy about a criminal walking in the streets regardless of their ethnicity. I read all the comments and not even one person from either side is happy about it.
If I commit a crime in Italy, and I move to Germany, the police in Germany will not arrest me unless the Italian side is going to send a request. Same principle applies here. Kosovo police is not going to arrest this guy unless they have a request from Slovakian police, or unless this guy commits a crime in Kosovo. Is that so hard to understand??!! And if it proved that this guy was selling heroine, I'll be the first to say hang him ,don't just give him 25 years !!!!

Ximi, I'm not missing the point. Whenever a country makes a stand that contradicts the Albanian viewpoint, they are "stupid" or some other name that you and your Kosovo Albanian kinsmen want to call that country. You fail to respect differing opinions and would shoot yourself in the foot just to get back at that country. Leaving a drug dealer on the streets of Kosovo just to teach the Slovaks a lesson is exactly what I am talking about. You would rather let a criminal walk free than turn him over to face justice just because you don't like the fact that the Slovaks don't recognize your country. That is the point.
(American Eagle, 19 June 2010 17:08)

The suspected criminals have their place in prison. The only thing here is that by sending the request to Serbia and not to Eulex, the slovaks tell the opinion that they are for cheap propaganda that will not bring the suspect to justice as Serbia does not have any capability to bring him to justice according to 1244 resolution that Slovakia respects.

This is really bad for slovakia, why would they send a request to belgrade?, if they didn't want to send it to prishtina they could've sent it to eulex instead.
You can keep provoking authorities in Prishtina but I got bad news for you, they've got smarter things to do. Why did Slovakia recognize Kosova's passport in first place?. I mean the guy holds slovak passport and they still try to play dirty game?. I can see other EU countries really laughing at this stupid move made by slovaks. Are you hoping that serbian police would go to Kosova and catch this guy?, wow. This is freaking ridiculous!. These kind of moves lead nowhere therefore it's not worth talking about it.

Mendo, the Americans whom support Kosovo are not insane, they have an agenda. It's the same old Americans whom forced this pseudo state upon us for their own selfish purposes. Clinton and his cronies knew exactly what they were doing yet they made pretend they were doing this for humanitarian reasons. Once started, they cannot now stop. The new administration is playing along but clearly its support is less than the support of previous administrations. I think the current US administration is more interested in having Serbia 'belong' than keeping Kosovo happy.

one would be considered insane if she or he made a request to a non-existent entity. It would be like talking to an invisible parrot on your shoulder. Serbia exists, Kosova doesn't exist. Kosovo exists as a part of Serbia. Therefore, the sane Slovaks asked the existent country to extradite the alleged criminal to another existent country for a real trial. Reality trumps fantasy.

If kosova was a part of serbia, then the serbian police can march in to kosova with a warrant and arrest him. But unfortunately this is not the case guys and most probably the request will be denied as kosova has a treaties with those countries who have recognized it and as long as he hasnt broken kosova laws theres not much they can do unless it fals in the EU jurisdiction

One police office in Slovakia asks one police office in Belgrade to ask another police office in Pristina(eulex) to ask another police office in Pristina(kps) to catch Sadiki. If I were in Sadiki I would go to Gracanica, or Mitrovica, just to add another link to the chain. Actually no, the office of eulex will ask directly to the office in gracanica or mitrovica, so there are only 4 links of beaurocracy in any case.. b92 reported only on the first link so far..we will impatiently wait for the next episodes describing the incredible voyages of the Sadiki dossier..

In the mean time Sadiki himself is happy that Slovakia did not recognize Kosovo.
He is even happier that the Slovakian police told him to leave on Monday, because they would come looking for him on Tuesday and then ask Belgrade to arrest him on Wednesday.

And do you think that the Kosovo police service is going to arrest him without a warrant aand to them the Serbian one is not valid, so if they want him they need to deal with who can deliver. Otherwise they could simply give the warrant to you and it would mean just as much. Think about it. Do they want him or do they want to make a political statement. One gets the guy, one doesn't.
But even if they do not recognize Kosovo according to 1244, Serbian police do not have authority in Kosovo, so going to UNMIK or EULEX would have been the smart thing to do, even you have to realize that.

So, Slovakia's Justice Ministry is going ask soon from Belgrade why don't you do anything? That will be embarrassing to Belgrade but so would be asking help from the police of Kosovo. Lose-lose for Belgrade, thanks to paper pushers of Slovakia's Justice Ministry. Do you understand now the logic of Slovakia's Foreign Affairs Ministry?

American Eagle

pre 14 godina

To all the Albanian posters,

Why would you advocate working against an EU member and allowing a criminal to walk free on the streets in Kosovo? Wouldn't it be a win-win situation for you if you arrested the guy, handed him over to the Slovaks, and showed that you all have a police force capable of enforcing the law? At the same time, you are proving that maybe, just maybe it is worth recognizing Kosovo as a country because it is able to function as one. Your logic is what keeps you out of western civilization and still in the dark ages. You will never make it into the EU, UN, or NATO with your thinking. Serbia doesn't need to work so hard to show the world you are not capable of being a real country because you are doing it for them.

Now, also think about that criminal smuggling drugs into Kosovo and the drugs making its way to your family or someone in your family hurt as an innocent bystander in a drug war because you didn't want to help Slovakia take a criminal off the street.

Although I dont have any sympathy for any criminal, if this guy is found guilty he will be sentenced in Prishtina, provoding that Slovakia sends docunments/facts related to the alleged criminal activities.
(PRN, 17 June 2010 16:14)

Just like that terrorist Bajram Aslani who got arrested thanks to US investigators... maybe he will get sent to Serbian prison after the US is done with him:)

Mr Q

The guy is clearly a crook and he should rot in prison. And please some of the uneducated people, stop with the statements such as Kosova or Serbia or who ever is full of criminals and terrorists. This is very immature and embarrassing you can not make such sweeping statements, no where in the civilised world you can do that apart from us here in Balkans.
The Slovakian side is trying to make a statement that they do not recognise Kosova, hence contacting Serbia first just to make some happy, but if they really want to catch that crook they will have to contact Kosovar police directly or indirectly, because even EULEX can not do anything without the help from the Kosovar Police. And remember thet crooks have no nationality or borders or religion they are crooks and that’s all they are. They are a disgrace to their community and the nation as a whole.

Using the words "mafia" and "gangster" does not give any extra information and is completely unnecessary. The only reason to do so must be for propaganda purposes. That said, I think he should be brought to justice, but Kosovo should not extradite to Slovakia since that country does not recognize and is behaving silly. By sending requests to Belgrade, they show that they are not interested in bringing him to justice, but only getting attention.

one would be considered insane if she or he made a request to a non-existent entity. It would be like talking to an invisible parrot on your shoulder. Serbia exists, Kosova doesn't exist. Kosovo exists as a part of Serbia. Therefore, the sane Slovaks asked the existent country to extradite the alleged criminal to another existent country for a real trial. Reality trumps fantasy.

Mendo, the Americans whom support Kosovo are not insane, they have an agenda. It's the same old Americans whom forced this pseudo state upon us for their own selfish purposes. Clinton and his cronies knew exactly what they were doing yet they made pretend they were doing this for humanitarian reasons. Once started, they cannot now stop. The new administration is playing along but clearly its support is less than the support of previous administrations. I think the current US administration is more interested in having Serbia 'belong' than keeping Kosovo happy.

Ximi, I'm not missing the point. Whenever a country makes a stand that contradicts the Albanian viewpoint, they are "stupid" or some other name that you and your Kosovo Albanian kinsmen want to call that country. You fail to respect differing opinions and would shoot yourself in the foot just to get back at that country. Leaving a drug dealer on the streets of Kosovo just to teach the Slovaks a lesson is exactly what I am talking about. You would rather let a criminal walk free than turn him over to face justice just because you don't like the fact that the Slovaks don't recognize your country. That is the point.

This is really bad for slovakia, why would they send a request to belgrade?, if they didn't want to send it to prishtina they could've sent it to eulex instead.
You can keep provoking authorities in Prishtina but I got bad news for you, they've got smarter things to do. Why did Slovakia recognize Kosova's passport in first place?. I mean the guy holds slovak passport and they still try to play dirty game?. I can see other EU countries really laughing at this stupid move made by slovaks. Are you hoping that serbian police would go to Kosova and catch this guy?, wow. This is freaking ridiculous!. These kind of moves lead nowhere therefore it's not worth talking about it.

The suspected criminals have their place in prison. The only thing here is that by sending the request to Serbia and not to Eulex, the slovaks tell the opinion that they are for cheap propaganda that will not bring the suspect to justice as Serbia does not have any capability to bring him to justice according to 1244 resolution that Slovakia respects.

If I commit a crime in Italy, and I move to Germany, the police in Germany will not arrest me unless the Italian side is going to send a request. Same principle applies here. Kosovo police is not going to arrest this guy unless they have a request from Slovakian police, or unless this guy commits a crime in Kosovo. Is that so hard to understand??!! And if it proved that this guy was selling heroine, I'll be the first to say hang him ,don't just give him 25 years !!!!

Right, with the only difference that, in Kosovo, EULEX is the responsible authority to issue those arrests warrents. That's why the Slovaks should have addressed EULEX.

2)slovak police is corrupt, how could the criminal know that a raid was gonna happen at his home and escape on time? Obviously some info leaked there, had the slovak police done their job well, they would have spared a lot of futile effort with belgrade
3)The crook got away with a lot of trouble of getting divorced with his slovak wife, whom he married for documentation reasons.
4)in such cases slovak authorities should contact with tirana, and not beograd, tirana has many agreements with kosovo authorites, i saw kosovo police patroling cars a few kilometres from tirana...there are agreements between kosovo and albania regarding security during the extremely crowded touristic season in albania .

Using the words "mafia" and "gangster" does not give any extra information and is completely unnecessary. The only reason to do so must be for propaganda purposes. That said, I think he should be brought to justice, but Kosovo should not extradite to Slovakia since that country does not recognize and is behaving silly. By sending requests to Belgrade, they show that they are not interested in bringing him to justice, but only getting attention.

Exactly right, whether they recognize Kosovo or not they would know that Serbia would have no ability to arrest and extradite the accused.
So they either have no interest in really arresting the guy or have extremely "uneducated" justice officials.

Pejoni

Belgrade? And how exactly is this criminal going to be arrested? Perhaps try the EULEX route, but that will leave EULEX once again losing the public support they so desperately need by acting in behalf of Serbia and with the way Slovakia requested. Sorry to say but this criminal will walk free for some time. And I personally hope KP dont waste their resources, its not their problem until this criminal does anything illegaly in Kosovo or requested by a country who we have diplomatic relations with.

pre 14 godina

To all the Albanian posters,

Why would you advocate working against an EU member and allowing a criminal to walk free on the streets in Kosovo? Wouldn't it be a win-win situation for you if you arrested the guy, handed him over to the Slovaks, and showed that you all have a police force capable of enforcing the law? At the same time, you are proving that maybe, just maybe it is worth recognizing Kosovo as a country because it is able to function as one. Your logic is what keeps you out of western civilization and still in the dark ages. You will never make it into the EU, UN, or NATO with your thinking. Serbia doesn't need to work so hard to show the world you are not capable of being a real country because you are doing it for them.

Now, also think about that criminal smuggling drugs into Kosovo and the drugs making its way to your family or someone in your family hurt as an innocent bystander in a drug war because you didn't want to help Slovakia take a criminal off the street.

"Exactly right, whether they recognize Kosovo or not they would know that Serbia would have no ability to arrest and extradite the accused."

Yes. It makes no sense at all to ask Serbia for the extradition, since Kosovo is under UN administation.

Slovakia's authorities should have simply addressed EULEX/UNMIK. The USA (a country that recognised Kosovo btw.) seem to knew how the proceure works and whom to ask to get a criminal arrested in Kosovo. And they have been successful, as we could read in another article here.

And do you think that the Kosovo police service is going to arrest him without a warrant aand to them the Serbian one is not valid, so if they want him they need to deal with who can deliver. Otherwise they could simply give the warrant to you and it would mean just as much. Think about it. Do they want him or do they want to make a political statement. One gets the guy, one doesn't.
But even if they do not recognize Kosovo according to 1244, Serbian police do not have authority in Kosovo, so going to UNMIK or EULEX would have been the smart thing to do, even you have to realize that.

If kosova was a part of serbia, then the serbian police can march in to kosova with a warrant and arrest him. But unfortunately this is not the case guys and most probably the request will be denied as kosova has a treaties with those countries who have recognized it and as long as he hasnt broken kosova laws theres not much they can do unless it fals in the EU jurisdiction

One police office in Slovakia asks one police office in Belgrade to ask another police office in Pristina(eulex) to ask another police office in Pristina(kps) to catch Sadiki. If I were in Sadiki I would go to Gracanica, or Mitrovica, just to add another link to the chain. Actually no, the office of eulex will ask directly to the office in gracanica or mitrovica, so there are only 4 links of beaurocracy in any case.. b92 reported only on the first link so far..we will impatiently wait for the next episodes describing the incredible voyages of the Sadiki dossier..

In the mean time Sadiki himself is happy that Slovakia did not recognize Kosovo.
He is even happier that the Slovakian police told him to leave on Monday, because they would come looking for him on Tuesday and then ask Belgrade to arrest him on Wednesday.

The guy is clearly a crook and he should rot in prison. And please some of the uneducated people, stop with the statements such as Kosova or Serbia or who ever is full of criminals and terrorists. This is very immature and embarrassing you can not make such sweeping statements, no where in the civilised world you can do that apart from us here in Balkans.
The Slovakian side is trying to make a statement that they do not recognise Kosova, hence contacting Serbia first just to make some happy, but if they really want to catch that crook they will have to contact Kosovar police directly or indirectly, because even EULEX can not do anything without the help from the Kosovar Police. And remember thet crooks have no nationality or borders or religion they are crooks and that’s all they are. They are a disgrace to their community and the nation as a whole.
