Kosovo trade and industry minister Lufti Zharku was relieved of a pistol he was found by Pristina Airport authorities to have been carrying when on his way to board a flight to London to an investment forum, local media reported.
 
Airport authorities disarmed him, keeping the pistol until Zharku’s return from London, a report in daily Koha Ditore said on December 11 2009.
 
A police spokesperson said that Zharku had forgotten that he had the pistol at his side.

Hahahaha, nice one Ludvig,But you forgot one minor detail. The border guard perhaps said, "This is a very small problem sir that can be resolved with a 500 euro donation to my personal charity". Have a nice trip sir.

Do you remember the case of Albanian Minister of Defense who was traveling into Greece, couple of years ago. At the border, the Greek border police stopped him and immediately confiscated his new Mercedes. They ran the license plate number and found out that the car was stolen in Germany! They never said, what happened after that. Did he continue the trip on foot?

This story confirms what country is this (a country which is invented), why the minister was not arrested, even if he had a permit supposed he had to be arrested for attempting to take a weapon on an aircraft....but i forgot there the laws are different..they invented their country as well

Maybe he did not earn enough money for a Bodyguard.

Why was he not arrested ? Does he have a permit ? Gangsters can never be serious persons. Like the zebra - the stripes can not be washed away !
