District court authorities in the Yugoslav city of Zagreb formally delivered a sentence of death to convicted war criminal Andrija Artukovic and served notice that his 15-day period for filing an appeal has begun. Artukovic, interior minister of the Nazi puppet state of Croatia during World War II, was extradited from the United States in February. The case may be appealed first to the Supreme Court of the present republic of Croatia. If that plea is rejected, Artukovic is entitled to appeal to the Yugoslav Supreme Court in Belgrade.
