PRIŠTINA -- Alliance for the Future of Kosovo will have Ramush Haradinaj as its leader in the coming elections. A party official said Tuesday in Priština that Haradinaj "will be allowed to participate" in the November 17 vote, despite the fact he is currently incarcerated in a Hague Tribunal detention cell.Haradinaj, formerly of the KLA, has been charged with war crimes committed against civilians in Kosovo in 1998, and is undergoing trial at the Hague. The Hague prosecution alleges that he, along with Idriz Balaj and Lahi Brahimaj, formed a joint criminal enterprise that engaged in crimes against humanity and violations of the laws or customs of war. The Tribunal previously allowed Haradinaj to participate in local politics, and to appear in public, with the agreement of the UNMIK chief in the province.
