The second-instance verdict in trial of former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic, who appealed against his conviction this week, is likely to be delivered by the end of the year.

Prosecutors urged judges at the UN court to reject former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic’s appeal and increase his sentence to life imprisonment for genocide and other wartime crimes.

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic appealed against his conviction for genocide and other wartime crimes, denying he was part of a criminal enterprise to persecute Bosniaks and Croats and demanding a new trial.

Former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic is starting his appeal against his conviction for genocide and other wartime crimes at the UN court in The Hague, claiming his trial was flawed.

Brnabic on Friday added that she "does not know what more Serbia can do" - replying to reporters who asked her to comment on Croatia's continued insistence that Serbia should "clearly and unequivocally" condemn the behavior of Vojislav Seselj that had led to a Croatian delegation cutting short their visit.

The interior ministry banned a rally that Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj planned in the village of Hrtkovci, where he made nationalist speeches in 1992 that got him convicted of war crimes.

Several political organizations have announced possible gatherings in Hrtkovci and the state of Serbia will not allow endangering of public order and peace and of citizens freedoms, Stefanovic said when Tanjug agency asked whether the MUP would allow the holding of political rallies in that village.

Opposition parties called for a ban on a rally that Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj plans in the village of Hrtkovci, where he made nationalist speeches in 1992 that got him convicted of war crimes.

The protest came after member of the Serbian National Assembly and leader of the opposition SRS party Vojislav Seselj caused an incident during the visit of a delegation of the Croatian Assembly.

But the ambassador said that Serbian officials did not do anything to make the Croatian delegation cut short its visit.

The Croatian government announced on Twitter that the entire delegation would return to Croatia, while the Zagreb-based media published a statement from the office of the Croatian Assembly President Goran Jandrokovic, who was in Serbia today.
