DINKO SAKIC ARRIVES AT ZAGREB AIRPORT

( Editorial: --> 2280 ) ZAGREB, June 18 (Hina) - Dinko Sakic, former commander of the World War II Jasenovac concentration camp, arrived at the Zagreb Pleso airport at 7.20pm on Thursday, on board a regular Croatia Airlines flight from Frankfurt. From the airport, Sakic was taken to the county prison in the Zagreb suburb of Remetinec in a police van. Sakic did not give any statement upon his arrival but was taken immediately to the police van. The head of the Interpol Office in Zagreb, Mladen Vulinec, told reporters that Sakic's extradition had been successfully completed. Ivan Damjanovic, head of the county prison in Remetinec, said that Sakic would undergo regular legal prison procedure and that he would be brought before the investigating judge within the next 24 hours. Ivan Kern, officially appointed defence attorney, will be waiting for Sakic in the prison, Damjanovic said. An indictment against Sakic would probably be issued after the investigation, but within the legal deadline of six months, Damjanovic added. (hina) rml 182049 MET jun 98
