Austrian minister says his country won't extradite Divjak

Our future EU partners dont seem to care about our justice.

Austria has a history of protecting war criminals. Literally. They haven't prosecuted anyone on their territory for the last 30 years. Not even balkan nazi war criminal Milovoj Asner who continues to live freely in Vienna. From the british news paper Telegraph:

So Austrian 'law' does not allow his extradition either or is it just the wrong kind of war criminal?

And tadic wants to join the eu?

Wake up Serbia before its too late.

First it was British law and now the Austrian law refuse to extradite war ceiminals, can't you see other countries just don't play fair.

It is very simple; "You guys don't know and don't care about justice", don't you get it by now!?

Once Serbia's a member of the EU, you'll be able to issue a European Arrest Warrant and Gen. Divjak will be toast, no appeal, on the next plane to Belgrade.

It is not for the minister to decide that, but for the judge. The minister is meddling with judicial affairs. Or does in Austria still the situation exist from the past where judges are also prosecutors and take orders from their ministers? (I also kind of expect what the verdict of the judge will be when he considers the extradition request).

But Mr.Divjak is the "hero" of Saraievo ?
Why is he under scrutiny ?

What exactly is this guy accused of?

The video of the incident in question has him saying, over and over, "don't shoot" on the radio.

I wonder why Austria even arrests him in the first place if they aren't going to extradite.
Anyhow, I don't think he really is Serbian because his last name ends with -ak and that is Slovak, and Slovaks were settled in the region during the Austrian occupation. They also tend to be Catholics.
He may be part Serb but only that and by not mentioning his true ethnicities they aren't being honest about what he is.
Does anyone know if he is religious and if so what religion he practices?

Why is this decision by Austria a surprise to any rational thinking person? Austria has a long held tradition of protecting war criminals and considering that Adolph Hitler was an Austrian need I say any more.
It’s interesting that Austria had more Nazi Party members than Germany prior to WW2, but at the end of the war the Austrians switched overnight from fascist to claim their new-found democratic aspirations. They claimed that Austria was subjugated by the Germans and “demanded special treatment as victims of Hitler’s tyranny – what a laugh.
“According to Austrian international law experts, Divjak's extradition to Serbia is unthinkable……”
Who are these experts? The same that have hidden Austrian mass murders for the last 6 decades. A more realistic and down to earth term is one fascist helping another. Hey, they are Austrians; some of the worst butchers of WW2 with the blood of innocents up to their greasy necks.

What did Divjak do?

He was involved in the planning and execution of that massacre with Ganic and others – that’s what he did. Just because you heard a voice over a crackling radio say “don’t shoot” does not mean it was Divjak.

So, sj, Branko, ida.

I'll ask again.

What is this guy accused of?

What makes him a war criminal, in your eyes?

In a video of the dobrovoljacka st incident, Divjak is seen shouting "don't shoot" over and over on the radio, so I'm confused.

Maybe one of you many experts here can shine some light on the issue.
