Prosecutors said on Wednesday former Kosovo Prime Minister Agim Ceku, wanted in Serbia on war crime charges, would stay in custody in Bulgaria for 72 hours while Sofia decided whether to extradite or release him.
Bulgarian police arrested Ceku at the border with Macedonia on Tuesday night on an old Interpol arrest warrant issued by Serbia.
