Serbia said it would ask Montenegro to hand over a former Serbian fighter accused of war crimes in Kosovo in 1999 and arrested in the Adriatic republic last week.

Serbia’s justice ministry told BIRN on Tuesday it would ask neighbouring Montenegro to extradite Predrag Vukovic, a Yugoslav Army veteran accused of involvement in the massacre of 46 ethnic Albanian civilians in Kosovo in 1999.

On the run since 2014, Vukovic, alias Madzo, was arrested in the Montenegrin port city of Bar on July 20 for illegal fishing. He gave a false name, but security checks determined his true identity.
