The Supreme Court in Belgrade has confirmed that all legal prerequisites for the ex-owner of Corporate Commercial Bank Tsvetan Vassilev to be handed over to the judicial authorities in Bulgaria, in line with the extradition request of Bulgaria’s Prosecution, have been met. The decision may be appealed to the Court of Appeal in Belgrade.
