Savchenko extradition procedures could be expedited

"Under the Extradition Convention, the Justice Ministry of the requesting side [Ukraine] sends to the requested side [Russia] a package of documents. The requested side is obliged to find out from the person to be extradited if they agree to be extradited, that is, whether there is nothing that may threaten them there. [Savchenko] must fill in these documents. Tomorrow I'll fly to Rostov to visit her and we'll fill in all the documents and will give her," Polozov told reporters on Thursday. He hopes that "the procedure will be expedited." "The whole procedure takes six months minimum in a regular procedure. When Savchenko signs these documents, they will be handled to Justice Ministry, which, in turn, will send them to the court (in Russia) where she is currently located. The court, that needs to receive recognition of the verdict from Ukraine, then makes a decision," Polozov explained.
