Beta - March 1, 2004

BELGRADE -- Monday – Serbia-Montenegro has demanded an official explanation from Hungary of the release of Kosovo Protection Corps commander Agim Ceku from custody in Budapest.

Foreign Ministry officials emphasised to Hungary’s ambassador to Belgrade, Jozsef Pandur, that the Serbia-Montenegro embassy in Budapest had not been informed of the arrest.

A statement from the Foreign Ministry today said that the Hungarian ambassador had been informed that Ceku is a citizen of Serbia-Montenegro and that there were no grounds for his release.

“Hungarian bodies are expected to act in accordance with the usual international practice in the future when acting on Interpol warrants and the extradition of suspects,” said the ministry.
