It’s doesn’t have the conspiratorial, gunslinging pizzaz of Clive Owen’s performance in The International, but a standing Interpol warrant has led to the arrest of former prime minister of Kosovo Agim Ceku by Bulgarian authorities.
Ceku, who was arrested last night at the Macedonian border, is wanted for alleged crimes committed against Serbs during the 1998-1999 Kosovo War. Though Ceku vehemently denies the accusation, the man’s record has been far from stellar. He’s been arrested twice before at various European airports and was also kicked out of Colombia earlier this year when he popped up on Interpol’s radar.
But this development actually raises more questions about Interpol’s supposed neutrality — and its agenda — than about Ceku himself.
