Darko Elez has not yet been extradited to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Blic learned. Apparently he fell ill before leaving for Sarajevo and is still in Serbia.
We remind you that the Belgrade Court of Appeal decided in mid-February that the conditions were met for the extradition of Elez BiH, who is seeking him due to a series of organized crime offenses, reports Srpskainfo.
The court rejected Elez’s lawyer’s appeal and confirmed the decision of the Belgrade High Court of January, which determined that the conditions for his extradition were met due to a series of serious criminal acts of organized crime committed in 2015, 2017 , 2018 and 2019.
This decision rejected a part of Elez’s extradition request by Bosnia and Herzegovina in relation to the second series of criminal acts committed between 2005 and 2009, because the Extradition Agreement between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina was not in force at that time.

Bosnia and Herzegovina traded drugs, extorted money and committed other crimes, writes Srna.
Elez is also one of the most important associates of the recently arrested Veljko Belivuk named Velja Nevolja.
Bosnia and Herzegovina requests Elez’s extradition for criminal proceedings and a trial before a local court for organized crime.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina Prosecutor’s Office previously announced, after Elez’s arrest in Belgrade, that it would request his extradition based on a confirmed indictment in a case known as “Puppet”, as well as an investigation conducted jointly with the Ministry of the Interior. of the Republika Srpska. and partner institutions in the region.
The investigation concerns serious crimes committed in the East Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina area, including killings by mafia liquidation methods in 2018 and 2019, then planning and assassination attempts in the East Sarajevo and Bijeljina area, and extortion and intimidation and other crimes, acts to the detriment of injured people in the area of East Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina
