Karadzic lawyer 'files extradition appeal'

Radovan Karadzic’s lawyer has filed a last-minute appeal against his extradition to the UN war crimes court in the Netherlands, according to a report in Serbia today.

The Politika newspaper quotes Karadzic’s lawyer Svetozar Vujacic as saying he lodged the motion last night, in an apparent attempt to stall the handover of his client to the tribunal in The Hague.
