Ejup Ganic arrested in London Belgrade, March 03, 2010 (Source: B92) - Former Muslim member of the war-time Bosnian Presidency Ejup Ganić has been arrested and remanded in prison in London according to media source B92 from Belgrade. Mr. Ganić will be detained until March 29. He was arrested on a Serbian war crimes warrant. Belgrade announced late on Monday it would seek his extradition on Tuesday morning. Serbia now has 45 days to provide complete documentation related to the case, substantiating its extradition demand. Serbian MUP in early 2009 issued arrest warrants for 19 Bosnian citizens, including Ganić, for their role in the so-called Dobrovoljačka St. massacre. In May 1992, a retreating convoy of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) was attacked in this Sarajevo street. Ganić was arrested as he was trying to leave Britain, police said. News agencies reported that he is accused by Serbia of conspiracy to murder 40 soldiers, in breach of the Geneva Convention, "primarily in respect of the killing of wounded soldiers". |

Citizens with ID cards with chips to get free digital signature certificates
Belgrade, March 10, 2010 (Serbia Today) – First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Ivica Dacic and Minister of Telecommunications and Information Society Jasna Matic visited the Savski Venac police station and had their qualified certificates linked to their ID cards.
Dacic stressed that Serbian citizens who have been issued with ID cards with a biometric chip will also be able to have their qualified certificates linked to their ID cards. This will enable them to use their ID cards for electronic signatures or identification in the virtual world. He noted that the adoption of the amendment to the decree on the data included in the ID card and the decree on registering the Ministry of the Interior’s Certificate Authority in the registry of qualified certificate authorities will enable all citizens to get free-of-charge digital signature certificates in police stations, provided they have been issued with ID cards with a biometric chip.
Dacic said this will enable citizens to address the state in most cases when necessary in an electronic way with their ID card, sign their petitions with the qualified certificate and get an answer from the state. This will make queues at the counters shorter and citizens will have quicker and more efficient communication with the state. Matic said that the portal of the Serbian government’s electronic administration will start with its work next month and emphasized the great importance of electronic administration, as it reduces time and costs in getting certain documents, transparency is increased and the opportunity for corruption reduced. |
