"Divjak's arrest definitely has dimensions of a political case," Komsic told reporters in Sarajevo, adding that despite Divjak's request that his case be treated only as a legal matter, it could not be done so.
According to Komsic, all steps have been taken to provide Divjak with consular and political protection.
Izetbegovic recalled the case of former Bosnian presidency member Ejup Ganic who was arrested in London, also Serbia's warrant, but he was set free due to lack of evidence.
Apart from Ganic, Divjak is one of several Bosnian wartime officials charged by Serbia over an attack on a column of the former Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) during its retreat from the Bosnian capital at the start of the war in Bosnia in 1992.
Izetbegovic said that all documentation pertaining to the Ganic case was sent to Vienna.
Divjak's arrest was greeted with condemnation. Residents of Sarajevo have announced protest rallies outside the embassies of Serbia and Austria until Divjak's release.
On the other hand, Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik welcomed the news about the general's arrest, adding that he should have been put behind bars earlier.
Dodik accused the Bosnian prosecutorial authorities of obstructing the investigation into the attack on the retreating JNA soldiers.
