Dakic was convicted by the Karlovac County Court for inciting the murder of three Croatian police officers in Krnjak municipality on 4 August 1991. Dusan and Milan Tomic were convicted for the murder, each to 20 years' imprisonment.
Croatian authorities requested Bosnia to extradite Mile Dakic, after on May 26 the Bosnian border police arrested him on a border crossing on an Interpol warrant issued by the Croatian authorities after his conviction to 20 years' imprisonment for war crimes.
Upon his handover to Croatia, Dakic was placed in custody in Karlovac, the Croatian ministry said.
The justice ministry of Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed today that Dakic's transfer was approved and that Croatia had accepted to repeat the Dakic trial as he was previously tried in absentia.
The justice ministry's spokeswoman Marina Dakic said that Justice Minister Barisa Colak had signed Dakic's extradition after the State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina had given a prior approval for the handover of that man who used to be a high-ranking official in the Croatian Serb rebels' leadership.
