Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj is resigning to face war crimes charges before the UN tribunal at The Hague.
The ethnic Albanian prime minister has informed the President and announced his resignation. He is expected to fly to The Hague tomorrow.
The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia confirmed this morning that an indictment had been issued against Mr Haradinaj.
He is the most senior former guerrilla commander so far indicted by the court.
Details of the indictment against Mr Haradinaj have not been made public, but the UN court has investigated him over his role in the KLA during the 1998-99 guerrilla war against Serb forces.
