A court in London has released Ejup Ganic, previously arrested in the UK on a Serbian war crimes warrant, on bail today. Ganic was a wartime Muslim member of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina. London court releases Ganic on bail Serbia is seeking his extradition on suspicion that he committed war crimes against members of the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA), in the May 1992 attack and massacre in Sarajevo's Dobrovoljacka Street. The suspect was arrested on March 1 in London. Serbia is looking for 18 more Bosnian citizens in connection to the case. The British court today reviewed Ganic's release, since he appealed an earlier decision to remand him in prison. Serbia's Justice Ministry said on Thursday that it had sent an official extradition request to the UK. According to announcements, Serbia was to submit new facts about Ganic’s alleged involvement in the war crimes during the court hearing today – new compared to those reviewed by the Hague prosecution in 2003, which concluded that there was not sufficient evidence to indict Ganic. In Londond today, the BBC reports that Ganic's lawyers said "moves to make him face trial in Serbia are politically motivated and his arrest is illegal". The bail was granted on "stringent" conditions, including staying at an undisclosed London address, observing a nightly curfew and not applying for a passport or travel document. He must also report daily to a London police station, the report said. The bail – amounting to GBP 300,000 (EUR 330,000) – had been provided as security by a "well-wisher" described as "a lady of substantial means". Meanwhile, it was reported that Chairman of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Presidency Haris Silajdzic left for London yesterday in order to support the suspect. Silajdzic was expected to hold meetings with British officials, the Federal Television of Bosnia-Herzegovina reported. The Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina did not discuss its chairman’s trip to London at yesterday’s session, and the Serb republic in Bosnia, RS, does not view the visit as official. RS Prime Minister Milorad Dodik said that Silajdzic would abuse his position and send a bad message to RS if he visited Ganic in custody, as he had previously planned.
