Radovan Karadzic extradited to The Hague
Karadzic spent nearly 13 years on the run before being arrested last week in Belgrade, where he lived under the assumed identity of a health guru — sporting a long white beard and hair, and large glasses.
He is expected to be summoned before a judge within a day or two and will be asked to plea to each of the 11 charges he faces, including genocide and conspiracy to commit genocide. He may postpone his plea for up to 30 days.
Karadzic's lawyer, Svetozar Vujacic, said his client will not enter a plea but will instead ask for the full 30-day period.
Vujacic also acknowledged Wednesday that he has never filed an appeal against Karadzic's extradition. Vujacic had claimed he sent the appeal by registered mail from Bosnia before a midnight Friday deadline.
The days-long uncertainty over the appeal helped stall Karadzic's handover, Vujacic said.
Despite the war crimes allegations, Karadjic is still revered by many as a wartime hero for helping to create the Bosnian Serb mini-state.

Comment: Great phrase: ..sustainable peace...This kind of peace, probably, requests a promotion of a one guilty ,vilain part on a one side, and on the other side a victim , totaly inocent. How can you expect of any body to take that as a reasonable ,
