Serbian-Canadian man detained in Poland for alleged war crimes in 1991
October 22, 2025
Polish border guards detained a 79-year-old Serbian-Canadian citizen wanted by Croatia under a European Arrest Warrant for his alleged involvement in war crimes in 1991, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
Croatia says the suspect issued orders and participated in acts including unlawful detention, torture and killings of civilians, as well as looting and arson while serving in Serbian paramilitary forces in the Balkan wars.
The man, named only as Zivko Z. because of Polish privacy laws, was detained at Warsaw’s Chopin Airport. He pleaded not guilty to the offences listed in the European Arrest Warrant, prosecutors said.

James Plover walked out of the courthouse in Kelowna on July 4 after being convicted of assault by choking and uttering threats to cause death. His hearing had lasted 18 minutes. Sentencing was set for September, back at the courthouse in the British Columbia Interior. Since Mr. Plover’s arrest a year earlier, and through a trial in the spring, he had abided by bail conditions that restricted contact with the person he had assaulted, whose identity is protected by publication ban.
