In late June, Croatia passed a law dubbed Lex Perkovic whereby it limits the application of the EAW to crimes committed after August 2002.
In a letter to Justice Minister Orsat Miljenic at the end of July, European Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding wrote that what Croatia did on June 28 by amending said law was not in accordance with European legislation and that it should be corrected.
On Thursday, Foreign Minister Vesna Pusic said there was still no formal decision on the matter but that she expected the law to be changed soon.
"There is no formal decision yet, but a solution will be found and Croatia will certainly function in accordance with the obligations undertaken regarding the application of the European Arrest Warrant," she said.
Pusic announced that the government would certainly reply to the European Commission by midnight on August 23, but added that "the definite steps certainly won't be finished" by then.
