Ante Jelavic, the former Croat member of the Bosnian Presidency who has an Interpol warrant out for his arrest, was kidnapped in Zagreb last night. According to Croatian media, the motive, location and circumstances of the abduction are unknown, but Jelavic’s family has reported his disappearance to the police. Ex-Bosnian presidency member abducted in Zagreb Zagreb police spokeswoman Aleksandra Ljuba would neither confirm nor deny that Jelavic’s disappearance or kidnap had been reported last night or this morning. As Jelavic has dual Bosnian and Croatian citizenship, he was, until yesterday, safely residing in Zagreb, as he is legally immune from extradition. Having left Bosnia-Hercegovina in October 2005, he went to ground in Croatia for some time in a variety of unknown locations, fearing that he could be kidnapped by Bosniak secret services and taken back to Bosnia-Hercegovina. In Sarajevo, Jelavic has charges hanging over him of embezzling money from Croatia through the Hercegovina Bank between 1998 and 2001. The Bosnian Appeals Court quashed his first sentence of 10 years imprisonment in July 2006. Many criminals from Bosnia-Hercegovina take advantage of having dual citizenship to seek refuge in Croatia, and vice versa. In recent months, the Croatian authorities have been pushing for an agreement on the extradition of such fugitives, but, as yet, no tangible steps have been taken.
