Croatia's Justice Ministry says Croatian authorities will not consider any further war crimes extraditions from Australia until a final decision is made in the case of Daniel Snedden, meaning that Predrag Japranin remains living in Melbourne despite being accused of committing alleged war crimes.
Accusations that a second Australian man, Predrag Japranin, was involved in war crimes in Croatia were reported by the ABC earlier this week.
The report said he has been placed on Interpol's Red List, the international police agency's "most wanted" list.
The AFP says under an Interpol Red Notice, it has no power to arrest Predrag Japranin.

A spokesman for Croatia's Justice Ministry says the Daniel Snedden case will set a precedent and will show Australia's final position on the extradition of its citizens.
Daniel Snedden, also known as Dragan Vasiljkovic or Captain Dragan, is wanted by Croatia over alleged war crimes in the 1990s.
The Australian citizen, who was born in Belgrade, has spent several years in jail in Australia after Croatian authorities requested his extradition in January 2006.
Croatian court documents allege he ordered the killing of prisoners of war and led an assault on a village in which civilians were killed during the 1990s Balkan war.
Vasiljkovic denies the allegations.
He has been fighting extradition to Croatia in Australian courts since 2007.
