This expectation is based on the legal acts and a bilaterally signed Agreement on extradition. Still, this will not be so simple, "Deutsche Welle" reports.
Skopje Basic Criminal Court stated that conditions for Tomor Morina's extradition to Serbia were not met. He was arrested last month in Blace, on the Interpol's warrant, based on Serbia's request. Morina is being accused of the crimes committed against civilians on the territory of Kosovo, 20 years ago.
The decision of the Criminal Court will be submitted to the Supreme Court, for its approval or denial, ending up with the Ministry of Justice.
Serbia is waiting patiently for the decision of this Ministry.
„The procedure regarding Morina's extradition should be carried out in accordance with the Extradition Agreement between Serbia and Northern Macedonia signed on November 29, 2011. Should all conditions envisaged by this agreement are met, Northern Macedonia will be obliged to extradite requested individual to Serbia“, Aleskandar V. Gajic, Professor of international law on Belgrade Law Faculty told Belgrade daily Politika.
„Recognition of Kosovo is not an obstacle“
It is already evident that this case of Morina will seriously upset relations between Skopje and Belgrade. This can be concluded by the statement of Northern Macedonian Deputy Prime Minister Bujar Osmani who said that "there are no basis for Morina's extradition to Serbia, and even if there was, he should be extradited to Kosovo, not to Serbia".
Aleksandar V. Gajic considers such statements as "legally unfounded", perceived as "political attempt of covering up the crimes committed on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija“. Osmani, as Gajic claims, "acts contrary to the Stabilization and Association Agreement between the Republic of Northern Macedonia and the European Union“.
When asked whether Kosovo's recognition is relevant to the procedure of Morina's extradition, Gajic responded that this recognition carries great political weight, but that it cannot be regarded as the obstacle to extraditing process.
Morina is in detention since July 25, where he will remain until the Supreme Court's verdict.
Humble Croat....... yes indeed. You are right that America and its poodles are against Serbia. As I said, its nothing to do with truth and justice. They are in short supply.
Just an example or two........ WMDs in Iraq. What a lie that was, and after 100s of thousands of deaths and a total destruction of the country, nobody takes responsibility.
And in my last post I wanted someone to explain how nobody is responsible for the cleansing of up to 300k Serbs from their homes.
But by all means continue to waffle and gloat at lies, BS and injustices.

Poor Serbia, everyone is against them. There is a world wide conspiracy against Serbia, just ask sj.

No not everyone is against Serbs and I understanding what is going on better than you. I was only making a point that the west preaches rule of law but at the same time they piss on their own so-called values and I love it LOL. That's all I was saying.
Serbia is doing brilliantly humble ustasha unlike Croatia which is suffering for high unemployment, loss of population due to migration and living off the scraps of what the EU throws at it.
When was the last time anything was opened in Croatia? NOTHING industry turning to rust while Uljanik closing down since the rich Croatia is not getting enough from Brussels. Then turn to Kosova and see how developed it has become in the last 20 years – much like Croatia.

I wouldn't hold my breath. Its unlikely that justice will be served. The whole thing has political motives.
Don't believe me? Then answer me how is it possible for Croatia to cleanse 250k-300k Serbs from their homes in 1995.....and not a single politician or army chief is guilty....???
Western justice eh...... truly amazing....!!!!

Yes we know its very, very complex. Just as complex when the French judicial system allowed Haradjin go despite an arrest warrant from Interpol.
Its called rule of western law LOL.
