Bakira Hasecic, president of a Bosnian victims’ association called Women -Victims of War, who was at the court in Paris on Wednesday, told BIRN that the decision was postponed until April 15, because not “all of the requirements for the extradition were met”.
“Even though we expected the decision today, this did not happen. I am disappointed and angry, because institutions failed to prepare everything ,” said Hasecic.
Former Bosnian Serb fighter Radomir Susnjar is suspected of having participated in detaining the Bosniaks in a house in Pionirska Street in Visegrad and then setting it on fire. Fifty-nine people died, among them women and children.
Susnjar is accused alongside other Bosnian Serb fighters including Milan Lukic, who was jailed for life by the Hague Tribunal for crimes committed in Visegrad, including the killings in Pionirska Street.
After Susnjar’s arrest, the Bosnian prosecution said last April that it was “a clear message to all war crimes suspects that the Bosnian prosecutor’s office and police agencies will find and prosecute suspects wherever they hide, all in the interest of the rule of law, peace and reconciliation in Bosnia and Herzegovina”.
