Croatian national extradited to Serbia 
Kroatisk borger utleveres til Serbia
In 2006 Croatia requested the extradition of its national on the basis of a conviction for the murder of a person in Croatia in the autumn of 1991. 
I 2006 krevde Kroatia borgeren utlevert på grunnlag av domfellelse for drap på en person i Kroatia høsten 1991.

Departementet har funnet at det foreligger skjellig grunn til mistanke om at vedkommende har begått krigsforbrytelser mot minst 200 personer.
Extradition to Serbia is not in conflict with Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, on the right to a fair trial. 
Utlevering til Serbia er ikke i strid med Den europeiske menneskerettighetskonvensjonen (EMK) artikkel 6, om retten til ”fair trial”.

The implementation of the extradition will be arranged direct between the Norwegian and Serbia police. 
Gjennomføringen av utleveringen ordnes direkte mellom norsk og serbisk politi.
Under the Extradition Act, extradition shall be implemented as soon as possible, and no later than four weeks after the final decision has been taken.
