THE HAGUE, July 26 (Itar-Tass) - Former political leader of the Bosnian Serbs, Dr Radovan Karadzic, who is charged with crimes committed in the 1990's in the course of a bloody civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, will not be extradited to the Hague earlier than next Wednesday, the Serbian news agency BETA said Friday quoting Karadzic'slawyer Svetozar Vujacic.
Sources at the Office of Serbia's Public Prosecutor for MilitaryCrimes said earlier they expect the extradition Monday.

The appeal was to be filed with the Belgrade district court.
