Abstract:
On January 8, 2014, a Croatian court ruled that a communist-era intelligence chief could be extradited to Germany where he is wanted over a killing of a Yugoslav dissident in the 1980s. Josip Perkovic, who was in office when Croatia was part of communist federal Yugoslavia, was arrested on New Year's Day as the Balkan state acted to resolve an extradition dispute that had overshadowed its accession to the European Union in 2013.[2]
