Israeli extradited to Bosnia to stand trial for genocide

Carmiel resident who immigrated from former Yugoslavia was allegedly involved in the 1995 massacre of over 1,000 Muslim Bosnians.

Alexander Tzvetkovich, an Israeli citizen from Carmiel, was extradited to Bosnia-Herzegovina yesterday on suspicion of being involved in massacres that took place there during the war in 1995.

Tzvetkovich was accompanied on the plane by Bosnian police.

In 2010, the Interpol put out an international warrant for the arrest of Tzvetkovich, who immigrated to Israel in 2006.
