Chapter three - EXTRADITION PROCEDURE
Title I - Extradition at the request of another state
Article 18
(1) By virtue of the decision granting extradition the court may postpone the actual surrender of the requested person where criminal proceedings are pending in respect of him/her in the Republic of Bulgaria or a sentence has entered into force that is subject to enforcement, in respect of an offence, which is different from the one for which extradition has been requested.
(2) Where a postponement under para 1 may result in the expiry of the prescription period for prosecution in the requesting state or could seriously obstruct prosecution, the court may grant temporary extradition, provided the person is returned to the Republic of Bulgaria immediately after action in respect of which temporary extradition was granted has been taken.

1. Si la ejecución inmediata de una solicitud de asistencia interfiriere una investigación o enjuiciamiento en curso de un asunto distinto de aquel al que se refiera la solicitud, el Estado requerido podrá aplazar la ejecución por el tiempo que acuerde con la Corte. No obstante, el aplazamiento no excederá de lo necesario para concluir la investigación o el enjuiciamiento de que se trate en el Estado requerido. Antes de tomar la decisión de aplazar la ejecución de la solicitud, el Estado requerido debería considerar si se podrá prestar inmediatamente la asistencia con sujeción a ciertas condiciones.
2. Si, de conformidad con el párrafo 1, se decidiere aplazar la ejecución de una solicitud de asistencia, el Fiscal podrá en todo caso pedir que se adopten las medidas necesarias para preservar pruebas de conformidad con el párrafo 1 (j) del artículo 93.
