Businessman indicted in Croatia for graft becomes South Korean honorary consul to Bosnia

Autor: mses
SARAJEVO, Dec 28 (Hina) - Bosnian businessman Svjetlan Stanic, who also holds Croatian citizenship and who has been indicted in Croatia for corruption, has been named South Korea's honorary consul to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which grants him privileges and protection under the 1967 Vienna convention on diplomatic immunities and privileges, the Sarajevo-based Dnevni Avaz reported on Tuesday.

The Bosnian government in September gave its consent for Stanic's appointment as the honorary consul of South Korea, and the decision went into force on Monday.

As South Korea does not have its diplomatic mission in Bosnia, Stanic is expected to open the honorary consulate of that Asian country in Sarajevo soon.

His "Stanic Trade" company has been successfully representing the South Korean LG electronics group on the Bosnian market for 15 years, which is why South Korea has accredited him as its honorary consul.

In Croatia, Stanic has been indicted for giving bribes to former Croatian Privatisation Fund vice-president Ivan Gotovac and for inciting him to abuse his powers in the privatisation of two companies.

At their first trial before the Zagreb County Court, they were acquitted. However, the Supreme Court has ordered a retrial, which is being held before the Zagreb County Court.

The court today could not say whether Stanic's status of honorary consul would affect the continuation of the retrial. The next hearing is scheduled for 21 and 24 January.
