Deportation and extradition within the meaning of Article 5 of the ECHR

Given that the appellant has the status of an alien who was staying unlawfully in the territory of BiH and seeking international protection, the court assessed that in the present case prerequisites for placing the appellant in the Immigration Centre were met. Therefore, the Constitutional Court holds that the present case is about a lawful deprivation of liberty of the alien awaiting a decision on his obtaining citizenship, which is provided for by Article 5 paragraph 1(f) of the European Convention.
