1The Ministry of Justice decides on the extradition within thirty days from the date the decision of the court has become final. After the expiration of this time period, even in case the decision is not issued by the Minister, the person for whom extradition is requested shall be released, if the requested person is subject to a coercive measure.
2The person shall be released even in case the request for extradition is rejected.
3The Ministry of Justice communicates the decision to the requesting State and, when this is favourable, the venue of person’s handing over, and the date by which it is expected to start. The time period of the person’s handing over is fifteen days from the fixed date and, upon motivated request of the requesting State, it may be also extended to fifteen other days. For reasons that do not depend on the parties it can be set another day for handing over, but always within the time limits established by this paragraph.
4The extradition decision shall lose its effects and the extradited shall be released in case the requesting State does not proceed with the taking over of the extradited person, within the set time limit.
