BELGRADE -- Serbia's Belgrade District Court received no appeal against the extradition of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic to the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague by the end of office hours on Tuesday, a court spokeswoman said.

"Considering the fact that an appeal did not arrive, the court didn't make any decision," the court's spokeswoman Ivana Ramic told reporters in Belgrade.

The 63-year-old Karadzic, who was arrested in Belgrade on July 21, was indicted for genocide during the 1992-95 Bosnian war by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

Ramic said that the deadline for submitting an appeal had expired on July 25.
