"Glavaš abusing dual citizenship"

Bosnian Interior Minister Tarik Sadovic says that the Branimir Glavas case shows the extent of the abuse of the institution of dual citizenship. “It’s well-known that Croatia has a constitutional barrier to the extradition of its citizens, as does Bosnia. Naturally, people accused and convicted of the most serious crimes, including war crimes, organized crime, and corruption simply stroll off to the other country and triumphantly declare: ’This is my true homeland,’“ Sadovic told Radio Free Europe. "Glavas abusing dual citizenship" He said that such people “made a mockery of justice and states, not only Croatia and Bosnia-Hercegovina, but Serbia and Montenegro too.“ The Bosnian courts in Sarajevo yesterday remanded Glavas in extradition custody, and the Bosnian prosecution has 40 days to submit documents for his extradition. Glavas, who was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment last week after being found guilty of war crimes against Serb civilians in Osijek during the civil war in the Nineties, absconded to Bosnia-Hercegovina, whose citizenship he acquired last year, within hours of the verdict being delivered.
