There is another aspect to this story that Croats should be aware of.
Under EU rules a local judge in any EU country can demand the extradition of a Croat citizen for reasons that would not be considered criminal in Croatia.
For example, the neo-Nazi Croat Rock star, Marko Perkovic 'Thompson' is deliberately offensive to Serbians and Jews. His racist and xenophobic songs are popular in Croatia but they are not forbidden and they are not criminal in Croatia.
In Britain and other “free” Western countries, people like Perkovic are not tolerated. If a British citizen went to a British Court of Law and complained that Perkovic’s songs were “racist” then the British judge could demand Perkovic’s immediate extradition so that he could face trial in Britain. It does not matter if Perkovic has never been to Britain before, he can still be extradited. The Croatian police and courts would have no power to question this British extradition request, all they could do is arrest Perkovic and send him to Britain for trial.
I know this sounds a little bizarre, but it is true.
Nations should exist to protect their citizens from malicious actions of foreigners (e.g. invasion and extradition). This is why all normal countries forbid the extradition of their own citizens.
Serbia must never change its Constitution to allow the extradition of it’s citizens.
