MOSTAR, Oct 20 (Hina) - Croatian and Bosnian chief state prosecutors Mladen Bajic and Marinko Jurcevic on Thursday discussed the Hercegovacka Banka case in which the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina recently sentenced former Bosnian Croat top state official Ante Jelavic to 10 years in jail for embezzlement.

Jelavic, who has dual Bosnian and Croatian citizenship, fled to Croatia after the Bosnian State Court sentenced him for embezzling through the Mostar-based bank funds which Croatia had been sending as assistance to Bosnian Croats in the 1990s.

Bajic told the press in Mostar he and Jurcevic agreed to exchange evidence in connection with the case.

Asked if Jelavic would be extradited to Bosnia and if Jurcevic had requested that, Bajic said his Bosnian counterpart made no such request and that under Croatia's Constitution, Jelavic could not be extradited.

Asked if Jelavic would be arrested in Croatia once his sentence became final, the Croatian state prosecutor said he could not speculate what would happen.

Bajic was in the southern Bosnian town to attend a two-day seminar at which legal experts from Bosnia, Croatia, and Serbia and Montenegro discussed advancing cooperation in forthcoming war crime trials on their territories.

Bosnian State Court president Meddzida Kreso said Jelavic might serve his sentence in Croatia if a final decision to that effect was made. She added this meant that Bosnian judicial bodies would forward the decision to Croatian judicial bodies for execution, and that Jelavic should serve the sentence in the country he was in.
