Busic to spend the remainder of his prison term in Croatia, the US
Embassy said in a statement on Wednesday.
The US Government received a request from the Croatian Government
to transfer Busic to Croatia, but has not reached a decision on the
issue yet, the Embassy said.

and under what conditions, the Embassy said.
Busic has been sentenced to life in prison after he had highjacked a
PanAm aeroplane in 1976 and caused the death of an American police
officer.
Asked by Hina about the possibility of extraditing a Chetnik
leader, Momcilo Djujic, to Croatia, the US Embassy said his
American citizenship did not present an obstacle to his possible
extradition.
Momcilo Djujic was the commander of a Chetnik unit from 1942 until
the end of World War II.
Croatia is accusing him of war crimes committed against civilians
during WWII in Lika (central Croatia) and north Dalmatia.
