The Georgian Prosecutor General's Office has urged Ukrainian authorities to cooperate and extradite wanted individuals, in particular, Georgia's ex-president Mikheil Saakashvili, to the republic.

"Since Mikheil Saakashvili and Zurab Adeishvili (Georgia's ex-justice minister) have been indicted in Georgia and declared fugitives, and given that, according to our intelligence, these individuals are currently in Ukraine, the Georgian Prosecutor General's Office has asked the Ukrainian Prosecutor General's Office to locate, arrest and extradite these individuals," the Georgian Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement released on Tuesday.

Adeishvili is wanted by Interpol, prosecutors said.

Wanted criminals and suspects are extradited between Georgia and Ukraine under the 1957 European Convention on Extradition, the 1993 Minsk Convention of Legal Assistance in Civil, Family and Criminal Cases, and the 1995 Ukrainian-Georgian agreement on legal assistance in civil and criminal case and legal relationships, Georgian prosecutors recalled.

"Under these international agreements, the parties undertake to consider and extradite wanted individuals to each other," prosecutors said.

"Despite the existing extradition obligations between the [two] countries, Ukraine did not cooperate with Georgian prosecutors over the extradition of Saakashvili and Adeishvili and has refused to extradite the wanted individuals," Georgian prosecutors said.

Last week Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko appointed Saakashvili as the head of an advisory international council for reform.
