Meanwhile, Periscopi has asked the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs about the case.

Jetir Zyberaj, adviser to Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli, has said this minister is in constant contact with Macedonian authorities.

We are in constant contact with the highest Macedonian authorities. Deputy Prime Minister Pacolli is personally involved in this case”, Zyberaj has said in an answer to Periscope.

He has yet to say that Morina's extradition can't happen because the arrest is political.

“Extradition cannot happen because the arrest speech is political, as it all speaks, the arrests Serbia has issued to former UCK fighters. Mr. Morina will be released absolutely after legal procedures because it should clear the issue of signalling in the INTERPOLI system”, he said. /Periscope.
