Kovac said in the Saturday edition of the Sarajevo newspaper Oslobodjenje that the issue would be discussed at a meeting of the justice ministers of the three countries due to take place on the northern Adriatic archipelago of Brijuni next month.
The Bosnian Justice Ministry is currently preparing two bills to regulate extradition procedure and cooperation with the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague.
"Efforts should be made to reach an agreement on extradition with our neighbours. We shall see what their views will be like on the Brijuni," Kovac told the newspaper.
The authorities in Sarajevo are concerned about the issue of persons holding dual citizenship and want to define how such cases will be treated by the three countries.
Earlier this year, Bosnian Supreme Court President Medzida Kreso warned that this could be a problem in view of the fact that most of the cases dealt with by the ICTY referred to war crimes committed in Bosnia-Herzegovina and that for this reason Bosnia-Herzegovina should have priority when such cases are referred to national courts.
Kreso proposed that the situation be resolved by signing a tripartite agreement on the handover of war crimes indictees.
