27 August 2010  Veselin ‘Batko’ Vlahovic, who is suspected of war crimes committed in Sarajevo, has been extradited from Spain to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He was arrested on his arrival at Sarajevo airport around 8 pm on August 26 and taken in a convoy of vehicles to the detention unit of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Vlahovic is suspected of participating in crimes against Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats in Grbavica, Sarajevo from 1992 to 1995 including murders, abuse, robbery, causing severe bodily and mental injuries, rape and forcibly taking civilians from their apartments.


“The war crimes of which Vlahovic is suspected were committed in an extremely brutal and outrageous manner,”  state prosecutors said.


The warrant against Vlahovic was issued in October 2008 and he was arrested in Spain at the beginning of March.


Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Montenegro all filed requests for his extradition. He was serving a sentence for banditry and violent behaviour in a prison in Montenegro but escaped in June 2001.
