Drazen Bosnjakovic

Croatia's Chief State Attorney, Drazen Jelenic, resigned on Wednesday after local media revealed that he is a member of the Freemasonry organization.

According to an MIA correspondent, the prosecutor resigned after a conversation he had with Justice Minister Drazen Bosnjakovic and after Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic's call to step down or otherwise be fired.

The head of the Serbian NGO Veritas, Savo Strbac, Strbac said that Croatia has stepped up arrests of Serbs wanted for alleged war crimes, so war veterans should be careful when crossing the country's borders

"We record an average of up to 10 arrests per summer season, depending on the year," Strbac told BIRN.

BELGRADE - Serbian and Croatian Justice Ministers Nela Kuburovic and Drazen Bosnjakovic will speak in Belgrade next month, with the meeting expected to make it clearer whether Zagreb will continue to insist that Belgrade stops prosecuting Croatian nationals indicted for war crimes.

The meeting will follow in the wake of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's visit to Croatia.

Croatia's Constitutional Court is considering an appeal about the Turkish Kurdish activist Nurettin Oral, who wishes to avoid extradition from Croatia to Turkey, his lawyer confirmed to BIRN.

Lawyer Sandra Drazic Karalic confirmed that the Constitutional Court had started to work on the case, which it received on January 15.

Serbian Justice Minister Nela Kuburovic on Wednesday said that Serbian courts would guarantee a fair trial to Ismail Morina, an Albanian whose extradition from Croatia has been requested by the Serbian authorities.

The Croatian Supreme Court announced on Tuesday that Ismail Morina can be extradited to Belgrade, where he is wanted for allegedly flying a drone carrying the flag of a 'Greater Albania' at a Serbia-Albania football match in 2014 - an incident which caused a major row between the two countries.
