Ejup Ganic arrested in London

Belgrade, March 03, 2010 (Source: B92) - Former Muslim member of the war-time Bosnian Presidency Ejup Ganić has been arrested and remanded in prison in London according to media source B92 from Belgrade. Mr. Ganić will be detained until March 29. He was arrested on a Serbian war crimes warrant. Belgrade announced late on Monday it would seek his extradition on Tuesday morning. Serbia now has 45 days to provide complete documentation related to the case, substantiating its extradition demand. Serbian MUP in early 2009 issued arrest warrants for 19 Bosnian citizens, including Ganić, for their role in the so-called Dobrovoljačka St. massacre. In May 1992, a retreating convoy of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) was attacked in this Sarajevo street. Ganić was arrested as he was trying to leave Britain, police said. News agencies reported that he is accused by Serbia of conspiracy to murder 40 soldiers, in breach of the Geneva Convention, "primarily in respect of the killing of wounded soldiers".
