Nova: Negotiations to extradite Krejcir will only start in September

Negotiations to extradite the fugitive Czech businessman Radovan Krejcir will only start in September, according to TV Nova's Jiri Hynek. Mr. Hynek says that he was informed of the news by Radovan Krejcir himself, during a phone conversation on Wednesday. Mr. Krejcir appeared before a South-African court on Wednesday, but insists that the topic of extradition was not on the agenda. Radovan Krejcir was detained in South Africa in April on the Czech Republic's request, after travelling to the country on a false passport. He is wanted in Prague in connection with a string of violent crimes and cases of fraud.
