The wife of former member of the KLA, Blerim Ramadani, whom the North Macedonian authorities arrested on the basis of an arrest warrant issued by Serbia, says that the border officials told her that he would be released during the day. And, after he was sentenced to 30 days of detention, political experts in Skopje said that the arrest is a consequence of the new government's approach, which includes Serbs.
The freedom for which he engaged in war was denied in peace, says Valbona, the wife of former member of the KLA, Blerim Ramadani, who was sentenced to 30 days of detention after his arrest at the border by the Macedonian authorities. , based on an arrest warrant from Serbia.
His wife Valbona, who was with him while they were crossing the border, said that Ramadan was detained for a while for verification and the statements of the border officials were that he would be released.
"After a while they told me to continue on the way to Tetovo, do your work that you have, then when you come back you will take it and walk again. When you came back, it was not as I wanted and what was promised to me", she said.
She said that the decision of the Basic Court of Skopje was unexpected.
"I did not wait for the 30-day detention decision. Think about me but don't expect me. Because honestly they were very good words that will be released. But, like me, like all the others, friends, well-wishers and all of Kosovo, we hope for the innocence of Blerim and the entire war of the KLA", stated Valbona Ramadani.

Connoisseurs of legal issues estimate that by setting the measure of detention, North Macedonia is acting contrary to the standards of the European Union.
"If the Skopje court was objective, not politically influenced, it would have to immediately release him and not assign Blerim Ramadan to detention at all, for the reason that this arrest warrant dates back to Milosevic's time and his extradition to Serbia does not ensure that an objective, impartial procedure and according to European Union standards will be applied. With this reasoning, the Court of Colmar also released former Prime Minister Haradinaj", said lawyer Xhevdet Smakiqi.
The political analyst in North Macedonia, Blerim Hyseni, also sees Ramadan's detention as politically influenced, who says that the new Government is made up of Serbian nationalists and is not oriented towards the European spirit.
"This also has to do with the current new Government which was formed, it is known how it was formed and in its composition we have some nationalist elements, I would say because within it we have a deputy prime minister of Serbian ethnicity who has never managed to distance himself from the Serbian chauvinist policy of Dacic and Vucic, and on the other hand, as Minister of Justice, we have a person who comes from a nationalist party, which is known for its anti-Albanian political rhetoric and vocabulary", said Hyseni.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Macedonia did not answer the questions put to them by KOHA. And in that of Justice, they said that they do not have more information than what is public.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo did not respond to the actions taken after the detention.
Ramadani's wife has placed her hopes on the country's institutions, from which she expects unstoppable commitment.

"This is not just a matter of my family, of my husband. It is a matter that has been raised for the whole army, for all his comrades. Once and for all, these people should enjoy freedom like everyone else", said Valbona Ramadani.
Ramadani was a member of the Operative Zone of Nerodime and the Serbian arrest warrant was issued against him with the claim that he committed war crimes against the Serbs in the summer of 1999 in the Ferizaj region.
