Court receives no appeal against extradition of Karadzic
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2008-07-30 09:19 Considering that the deadline was followed by a weekend, the court is obliged to wait for a reasonable period of time for an appeal to arrive by mail so that it can be considered, Ramic said. Goran Petronijevic, a new attorney for the wartime Bosnian Serb leader, said earlier on Tuesday that legal conditions for Karadzic's transfer to The Hague had not been met yet because the court had not decided on the appeal. However, he could not say if an appeal had been filed at all, saying that he did not take part in the appeals proceedings. Karadzic's attorneys previously declined to say if they had filed an appeal, saying that they were buying time for their client. Dusan Ignjatovic, a Serbian government official in charge of cooperation with the Hague tribunal, said Tuesday that Karadzic could be transferred to The Hague by the end of the week. Ignjatovic said he believed that no appeal had been filed at all. Once it receives an appeal, the Belgrade District Court has three days to decide on it. The final decision on the extradition is signed by the Justice Ministry. |
