Albanian authorities have arrested a former Kosovar rebel wanted by a war crimes court in The Hague. Dritan Goxhaj was detained in Tirana under an arrest warrant issued by the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, the court said on July 31 in a statement. Goxhaj is wanted for "offenses against the administration of justice involving intimidation and obstructing official persons in performing official duties." The court, which is based in the Netherlands and is staffed by international judges and lawyers, was set up in 2015 to handle cases under Kosovar law against former Kosovo Liberation Army guerrillas.
