Serbia's Justice Ministry on Wednesday delivered to Great Britain a request for extradition of Ejup Ganic, a war-time Bosnian presidency member, whom Belgrade holds responsible for war crimes.
The request including extensive documentation on this matter was sent to Great Britain, the Serbian ministry said in a statement.
Ganic was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport on March 1 based on an arrest warrant issued by Serbia, which accuses him of ordering the killing of more than 40 Yugoslav army soldiers retreating from Sarajevo at the beginning of the Bosnian war in 1992.
Former Bosnian Vice President Ejup Ganic must remain in a British prison for at least two more days on Serbian war crimes charges, The Associated Press said on Tuesday.
District Judge Nicholas Evans told Ganic at a hearing on Tuesday his request for bail would be considered Thursday at London's High Court, after lawyers appealed to have him freed while British courts decide whether he should be extradited to Serbia.
Under extradition agreements, Serbia has 45 days from Ganic's arrest to send British authorities full details of the case against Ganic.
The Public Prosecutor's Office in Bosnia-Herzegovina also seeks Ganic's extradition from Britain.
