No response to latest Karadzic request In response to Karadzic’s motion, the prosecution stated that it “does not wish to assume a position on his request,“ without divulging the reasons for its decision. Last week, Karadzic asked the Tribunal to provide him with an experienced, adequately-paid lawyer, as otherwise his right to a defense would be seriously compromised. Previously, the Secretariat had temporarily undertaken to pay the two advisers the defendant had hired, but at a rate deemed inadequate by Karadzic. The former Bosnian Serb leader was arrested in Belgrade on July 21 and extradited to the Hague a few days later to face charges of war crimes committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia.
