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. Extradition of K. Albanian gangster requested from Belgrade 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”. Sadiki holds a Slovakian passport via his marriage to a Slovakian woman. In that country, he has been indicted earlier this year for smuggling 120 kilograms of heroin in six different shipments in 2007, and 2008. Some of the drugs also ended up in Poland, according to reports. In Slovakia, if found guilty, Sadiki will be looking at between 20 and 25 years in prison. He left Slovakia in a hurry on March 15, just before police there were preparing to raid his home. Police now believe that he had been tipped-off. Sadiki's “business trip to Albania” saw him travel to Kosovo, where he was located on May 5, while Slovakia's police on May 17 officially requested his extradition from Serbia.
