The SDS said in a statement: "Last week's incident involving Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj was, among other things, a violation of the 1969 UN convention on special missions, and – by extension – a violation of Article 8 of the Slovenian Constitution."

Police detained Haradinaj at the Ljubljana Airport on June 17 on a 2004 arrest warrant issued by Serbia for alleged war crimes in the 1998-1999 Kosovo war. He was acquitted of the crimes by a UN court in 2012. SDS stressed that Slovenia was the only country in which the warrant was still valid. Slovenia released Haradinaj two days later – after it received a diplomatic note from the Kosovo Embassy.
