- Abstract
In the case of Petruhhin, the Court of Justice of the European Union brought its first judgment regarding extradition of EU citizen by an EU memberstate in a third state. The paper aims to briefly present the EU's extradition system and latter to address the judgment in Petruhhin case, an EU citizen (Estonia) who was subject to an extradition request to a third state (Russia) submitted to another EU member-state (Latvia). In addition to the judgment, the paper also explains the Advocate General opinion which in some parts is contrary to the very judgment. At the end, a brief overview of the impact of the EU law and respect of fundamental rights is given, especially the right of non-discrimination based on nationality. In the conclusion, possible guidance is given on how the CJEU could refer to this judgment in future when deciding on comparable situations.
