Serbia is yet to send its request to the UK for the extradition of Ejup Ganic, reports said in Belgrade this Monday. The wartime member of the Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina was arrested in London on March 1 at Serbia’s request. Ganic extradition request expected today The Serbian Justice Ministry has several times announced that the request and additional documents for Ganic’s extradition would be sent, and according to the latest information, this will most likely be done today. Serbia has a legal deadline until mid-April to send this documentation to London. The Serbian War Crimes Prosecution has issued arrest warrants for Ganic and 18 other Bosnian citizens for the May 1992 massacre of Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) soliders in Sarajevo's Dobrovoljacka St., when the retreating army convoy was attacked. In the meantime, as Ganic remains in custody in Britain where a court last week refused to free him on bail, Bosnian Croats have also spoken, stating that he is responsible for crimes committed against Croats in the Neretva Valley, in central Bosnia. “Since the issue of the responsibility of members of the wartime Presidency of Bosnia-Herzegovina has not been processed in The Hague, I’m satisfied if it is processed in Serbia, because the Prosecution of Bosnia-Herzegovina will never do it, due to the (internal) relations in Bosnia-Herzegovina,” said President of the Croat Association of War Detainees Mirko Zelenika.
