Court makes final ruling - Radicals are not going to Hague

Pursuant to Serbia's Law on Cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the ruling is final and enforceable, and no extraordinary legal remedies can be used to quash it and no one can request postponement of enforcement, the Higher Court said in a release.

The pre-trial chamber upheld the preliminary proceedings judge's finding that the prerequisites for the arrests and extradition of Petar Jojic, Vjerica Radeta and Jovo Ostojic, pursuant to an ICTY warrant of January 19, 2015, have not been met.

The ICTY issued a warrant for their arrest and extradition in January 2015, after the ICTY Office of the Prosecutor charged the group with pressuring two prosecution witnesses into testifying in SRS leader Vojislav Seselj's favor and offering them favors in return.

In March, the ICTY acquitted Seselj of all charges of war crimes committed in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina during the wars there and expulsions of ethnic Croats from Serbia's Vojvodina province in the 1990s.
