Russia hands over war crimes accused
2006-06-10
If Jerry Springer married Sally Jessy Raphael...
Russia has handed over to Bosnia Dragan Zelenovic, a Bosnian Serb wanted by the United Nations war crimes tribunal for rape and torture. Russia transferred Zelenovic to the Bosnian authorities on Thursday after Carla del Ponte, the UN war crimes tribunal's chief prosecutor, accused Moscow of dragging its feet over the case. On Friday, the Bosnian war crimes court said in a statement: "Dragan Zelenovic will appear before the judge for preliminary proceedings ... at 11.30am (0930 GMT)."

Zelenovic, a former policeman, is wanted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague for atrocities committed against Bosnian Muslims in the eastern Foca region during Bosnia's 1992-95 war. Del Ponte told the UN Security Council on Wednesday: "The long and unexplained delays in the transfer of Zelenovic ... do not allow for optimism in the future of the ICTY's co-operation with the Russian Federation."
