Former Bosnian senior official "detained then released"

Former Bosnia-Herzegovina Presidency member Ejup Ganic, who the Serbian MUP has an arrest warrant out for, was detained and then released in London. Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said that Ganic was released because of logistical reasons. Former Bosnian senior official "detained then released" “The Serbian Interpol Bureau called for an official explanation because of it,” Dacic said. Ganic denied that he was detained at a London airport because of a warrant that Interpol in Serbia issued against him, adding that he was simply waiting for his luggage. Ganic told media in Sarajevo that he was waiting for his luggage in London and that everything was "orchestrated by Belgrade.” He said that he went to London to the promotion of the student-graduate private school called the Sarajevo School of Science and Technology, which he owns, adding that he was traveling with some graduates. Serbian Justice Minister Snezana Malovic said that the courts of Great Britain were sent a demand for the extradition of Ganic, and that there will be a decision coming from London in 24 hours. War Crimes Chief Prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic told B92 that Ganic is under investigation for crimes allegedly committed on the territory of Bosnia-Herzegovina. ”We’ve been working for a long time on this case related to events from 1992. This is where the war began. Ejup Ganic and several others are under investigation. Here we can see the seriousness of our approach and none of the victims will remain without justice,” he said. Bosnia-Herzegovina Prosecution spokesperson Boris Grubesic said that there is no information on Ganic being held in London and that this is the first time Sarajevo is hearing about it. The Serbian MUP issued a warrant for the arrest of 19 persons from Bosnia, among them Ganic, for the attack on a JNA column in May 1992 in Sarajevo.
