BiH to extradite Glavas
15/05/2009
SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) -- The State Court decided on
Thursday (May 14th) that Croatian lawmaker Branimir Glavas should
remain in custody pending extradition to Croatia. Local media
commented that the decision sets a legal precedent in bilateral
relations, because there is no agreement regulating the extradition of
those with dual citizenship. Prosecutors now have 40 days to submit
all necessary documents for the deportation. Judge Branko Peric
attributed his ruling to suspicions that Glavas applied for BiH
citizenship only to avoid prosecution in Croatia. He fled to BiH
rather than begin serving a ten-year sentence for war crimes committed
against Serb civilians during Croatia's war of independence in the
early 1990s. Glavas was detained Wednesday based on an international
arrest warrant issued by Croatia.
