Kosovo extradites Montenegrin, possessed counterfeit identities

Mario Milosevic, is known as one of the most dangerous people in Montenegro.

He is even accused of committing serious murder and other criminal acts in this country.

For these reasons he had fled this state, while quiet housing had been found in Kosovo.

He had even been able to forge identity here.

He owned a passport where the identity of Miroslav Kostic, a Serb citizen from North Mitrovica, was clearly stolen.

But despite that, Mario Milosevic cannot escape arrest.

It was seized by the most elite Kosovo Police Unit, in a special operation in Pristina's Emshire neighbourhood.

Milosevic was also brought before justice bodies and sentenced to 13 months in prison and 10 thousand euros in fines.

This highly dangerous person had attempted to avoid extradition to Montenegro, seeking asylum in Kosovo.

But he was not approved, so days ago he was eventually extradited to the neighbouring state.

Justice Minister Abelard Tahiri himself announced this.

The extradition of one of Montenegro's most wanted persons, suspect Mario Milosevic, is successfully realised. Suspect Milosevic was wanted by Montenegrin authorities due to serious criminal acts “assassination” and “holding unauthorised explosive matter”

But, Tahiri himself now and many days has refused to give details about the extraditions the state of Kosovo has made.

Meanwhile, T7 learns that so far during 2019 Kosovo has carried out nearly 50 cases of extraditions from and to various states.

And this co-operation of Kosovo with other states, according to criminal law professor Ismet Salihu, is the strongest weapon to fight crime.

A special law for judicial co-operation between states has been issued in Kosovo. This law regulates the issue of extradition, of handing over data allegedly committed criminal acts, even of common investigation, is impossible to combat criminality, a person can commit a murder crime, and within an hour, I can go to Austria unless that co-operation exists that person can't be punished

Meanwhile, extraditions from Kosovo according to Salih are conducted only when the justice minister approves them.

Sometimes for political reasons, however, they are also rejected.

There are cases even though there is a job that could be rejected by the Justice Minister, there are political priorities. )
