If Dragan Vasiljkovic, accused of war crimes in Croatia, were to escape to Serbia, Zagreb could hand its case over to Belgrade, Australian media are reporting. Dragan Vasiljkovic, aka Daniel Snedden, has not been seen since last Monday, The Age writes, and adds that last week Australia's High Court approved his extradition to Croatia to face war crimes allegations over his alleged actions in that country while he was a Serb paramilitary commander. Serbia could end up with Captain Dragan case Vasiljkovic holds dual Serbian and Australian citizenship. The report quotes Croatia's Deputy Attorney-General, Dragan Novosel, as saying in Zagreb that if Vasiljkovic fled to Serbia, Croatia would have no choice but to hand over its case to that country as Serbia does not extradite its citizens to Croatia. ''We have concrete evidence about Vasiljkovic's actions,'' Novosel told current affairs program on Croatia's national broadcaster, HTV. ''Those statements are credible. We will make them available to the war crimes prosecutions department of Serbia, which will decide whether to launch a prosecution. ''They have done so in other cases and I don't see why they wouldn't in this case. That is the only mechanism we have at this point for Serbian nationals who are located on Serbian territory and who have committed crimes in Croatia," Novosel was quoted.

Snažno nevreme stiže u Srbiju

U većem delu Srbije će danas pre podne biti pretežno sunčano, toplo, suvo i vetrovito, uz olujnu košavu u Beogradu, na jugu Banata, u Pomoravlju i donjem Podunavlju, a već u poslepodnevnim satima biće kratkotrajne kiše ili pljuskova.
