EU arrest warrant must apply fully in Croatia
On 18 September 2013 the European Commission launched a so-called “Article 39 procedure” against Croatia for having unilaterally provided in national law that the EU European Arrest Warrant – which replaces traditional extradition with a faster streamlined procedure for serious crimes – will apply only to crimes committed after August 7, 2002. This procedure is based on an article in Croatia’s Accession Treaty and allows Brussels to impose measures in case of non-compliance with some EU rules.
