The head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center called on Serbian authorities to extradite suspected Holocaust war criminals.
Efraim Zuroff made the remarks Sunday in a meeting with Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Draskovic in Jerusalem.

He named Sandor Kepiro, who was convicted for his role in the murder of more than 1,000 people in Novi Sad in 1942 when he was a Hungarian officer, and now lives in Budapest; Milijov Asner, who as police chief of Pozega helped send hundreds of Serbs, Jews and Roma (gypsies) to their deaths in Ustashe camps, and now lives in Klagenfurt, Austria; and Ivo Rojnica, who as governor of Dubrovnik was an accomplice to the persecution and deaths of hundreds of Serbs, Jews and Roma and now lives in Buenos Aires.

Zuroff urged Draskovic and his government to expedite the extradition of the three to Belgrade for trial.
