The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
indicted Rajic, 45, in October 1995 for the killing of at least 16
Muslims in the central Bosnian village of Stupni Do in October
1993.
Rajic had been at large, using the alias Viktor Andric, until April
this year, when he was arrested in Split.
On April 30, Zagreb's county court approved Rajic's extradition to
the Hague tribunal, a decision confirmed by the Supreme Court on
June 9 after overturning Rajic's appeal.
