SARAJEVO (Reuters) - A high-profile corruption case involving a Croatian ex-government minister and seven other people will be dealt with by the Croatian anti-graft agency, Croatia's State Attorney Office (DORH) said on Tuesday, rather than EU prosecutors who had asked to examine the case.

Health Minister Vili Beros was immediately sacked after Croatia's Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organised Crime (USKOK) raided his home last Friday and arrested him over alleged corruption.
