Croatia requests Bosnia to ensure enforcement of jail sentences for 26 convicts

Autor: mses
SARAJEVO, Aug 16 (Hina) - By 15 August the Croatian judiciary sent a total of 26 requests to Bosnia-Herzegovina asking for the enforcement of prison sentences in final verdicts delivered by Croatian courts, but the Branimir Glavas case is not among those 26 requests, sources at the Bosnian justice ministry told Hina on Monday.

Glavas, who holds both Croatian and Bosnian citizenship, fled to Bosnia in May 2009, just before the Zagreb County Court found him guilty of war crimes in Osijek. Recently the Croatian Supreme Court upheld the guilty verdict, sentencing him to eight years in jail.

Bosnia's Assistant Justice Minister Nikola Sladoje said today that all 26 requests which Croatia had forwarded by 15 August had been referred to courts in Bosnia which were now expected to confirm the existing rulings and decide where convicts should serve their prison terms.

One of those 26 requests refers to the case of cardiologist Ognjen Simic, who was convicted of bribery in Rijeka.

The cantonal court in Sarajevo, where Simic has been living since he fled Croatia, is to deal with his case now.

Bosnia-Herzegovina has so far forwarded 29 requests to Croatia for the enforcement of prison sentences for convicts who were found guilty by Bosnian courts and who have been staying in Croatia.

According to information available to the Bosnian ministry, there are currently 110 people in Croatia who have been given final guilty verdicts by Bosnian courts.

An additional 57 convicts, who are beyond the reach of the Bosnian authorities, are believed to be in the area of former Yugoslav republics, with some of them possibly having fled to Croatia.
