BBC NEWS | Europe | Bulgaria arrests former Kosovo PM

A former Kosovo prime minister, Agim Ceku, has been arrested in Bulgaria on an international warrant issued by Serbia for alleged war crimes.

The Bulgarian interior ministry said Mr Ceku was detained as he crossed the border from Macedonia and a court would consider his case in the next few days.

Serbia accuses Mr Ceku of committing war crimes in 1998-99.

At the time he was commander of the ethnic-Albanian Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), which was fighting Serbia.

That is a very porous border, nobody gets areested unless they're set up, stupid or surrendering to a friendly govt. It should be noted that unofficially Bulgaria and Serbia have an "interesting" and supportive relationship.
