SARAJEVO, March 4 (FENA) - After communication and cooperation between the Prosecutor's Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Canadian partner institutions, a BiH citizen Nikola Koprivica (1954), from Sokolac Municipality, suspected of crimes against humanity, has been located, identified and extradited to the BiH Prosecution.
After landing in Sarajevo, Koprivica will be brought to the acting prosecutor for questioning, after which the Prosecution will decide on further activities in the case.
