Radovan Karadzic’s lawyer Svetozar Vujacic says his client was questioned for 90 minutes by Dep.Prosecutor Dragoljub Stankovic. Karadzic was questioned in relation to the criminal complaint brought by Vujacic where it is alleged that the former Bosnian Serb leader was held in custody for three days illegally. Karadzic questioned by prosecutor The lawyer told journalists in front of the Special Court in Belgrade that Karadzic had described to the prosecutor his movements since July 18 and “the method of arrest and transfer” to an unknown place, as he put it. He reiterated Karadzic’s claim that he was arrested on Friday, July 18, and not Monday. Vujacic yesterday lodged a criminal complaint against an unknown individual for unlawful deprivation of freedom between July 18 and 21 before the war crimes suspect was handed over to the investigative judge. Recounting the details of his conversation with Karadzic, Vujacic said that Karadzic and fellow war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic had last seen each other when the former had handed over his duties as Republic of Srpska (RS) president to Biljana Plavsic, and had not been in contact with Mladic since. Karadzic is accused of genocide, complicity in genocide, execution, murder, punishment, deportation, inhumane acts and other crimes committed on Muslims, Croats and other non-Serb civilians in Bosnia-Hercegovina during the Bosnian war. The deadline for filing an appeal over the conditions for Karadzic’s extradition expires today. Earlier, Vujacic announced that he would be sending the appeal by mail today at 19.55 CET, right before the deadline. He said that he was taking his time with filing the appeal to allow more time for Karadzic’s family to come to Belgrade to visit him before he is extradited to the Hague Tribunal. Karadzic’s immediate family, who live in the Republic of Srpska, had their travel documents confiscated because of suspicions that they were involved in the Hague fugitives’ support network. A decision to return them their passports and allow them to visit Karadzic in Belgrade is due to be made by Bosnia-Herzegovina High Representative Miroslav Lajcak. According to procedure, the War Crimes Chamber has three days in which to respond to the appeal. An appeal cannot be filed against the war crimes chamber’s ruling afterwards, and the final decision for extradition is taken by the Justice Ministry.
