Key legal question
Whether enforcement of the Macedonian sentence was time-barred and thus extradition barred
Extracted holding
No; the Macedonian authorities’ repeated enforcement steps interrupted prescription, so the absolute limitation period had not yet expired.
Extracted reasoning
Under the applicable treaty and Swiss law, only a minimally substantiated interruption is required; the file showed multiple interruption acts from February 2002 onward, making the absolute period expire only on 31 January 2008.
