The extradition request will soon be sent to Australia, the Croatian minister told Hina on Friday.
Reporters of "The Australian" newspaper have reported that Captain Dragan, who is perceived in Croatia as one of notorious leaders of Serb paramilitaries during the Homeland Defence War, is now a golf instructor in Perth where he has identity papers in the name Daniel Snedden,
Earlier on Friday the Croatian Justice Ministry and the Office of the Chief State Prosecutor did not confirm media reports that Vasiljkovic a.k.a. Captain Dragan is on a list of war crimes suspects.
The Croatian media have reported that he is suspected of perpetrating war crimes against Croatian civilians in the eastern Croatian town of Tovarnik on 23 September 1991.
Spokespersons for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY ) and the ICTY prosecution told Hina no indictment had been issued against Vasiljkovic by that UN court.
The Australian daily reported that he told reporters who had found him in Perth that he committed no crime and that he had been in the Hague-based tribunal to testify that Serb paramilitary units in Croatia were under the control of the then Serbian and later Yugoslav President Slobodan Milsoevic.
