ARGENTINA'S JUSTICE MINISTER CONFIRMS DECISION ON SAKIC'S EXTRADITION

( Editorial: --> 6586 ) BUENOS AIRES/ZAGREB, April 14 (Hina) - The Argentinean Justice Minister Raul Granillo Ocampo confirmed his government's decision to enable the extradition of Dinko Sakic after Croatian officials hand over an official request for extradition to the Argentinean authorities, the Argentinean Justice Ministry said in a statement on Monday. Ocampo announced that cooperation between Argentina and Croatia would cover a wide area. Argentina's Justice Ministry yesterday received Croatian Ambassador Neda Saric-Rosandic, who confirmed that the Croatian authorities were working on a request for extradition, which will be submitted to the Argentinean authorities, the same source said. If the charges saying Sakic ordered the killing of thousands of Serbs, Jews and Gypsies during World War II prove to be true, we will not hesitate to enable his extradition, Ocampo said. After a half-an-hour meeting, Ocampo drew a parallel between his government's stand in the Priebke case and a decision which would be made as regards Sakic, the statement said.
