Serbian president “not into extradition”

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told reporters he cannot answer their question about Montenegro’s request for the extradition of Svetozar Marovic, because that’s “not his job”.

“I do not know anything about this request. We have good cooperation with Montenegro, and the Serbian judiciary will act in accordance with the principles of international legal assistance. I do not think it is the job of the president”, he said.

Deputy Prime Minister Zoran Pažin, on the other hand, said he expects Serbia to arrest Svetozar Marovic and his son Miloš Marovic and hand them over to Montenegro.

Lawyers of Svetozar Marovic maintain that their client is being treated at a private psychiatric clinic in Belgrade and that this was the reason why he hasn’t started serving his prison sentence.
