MOSTAR, July 27 (Hina) - The president of Bosnia's Croat-Muslim federation on Friday dismissed any possibility of ceding territory to the Bosnian Serb entity as a condition for the extradition of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan
Karadzic to the UN's war crimes tribunal at The Hague. Earlier this week, officials of the Posavina Canton issued a statement saying a Bosnian Serb entity commission requested the federal government to give a customs point at Samac, which is in the federation, to the Serb entity. In return, they would be willing to extradite Karadzic. "It is absolutely irresponsible and unacceptable that anyone should set conditions for the extradition of war criminals in Bosnia-Herzegovina, especially the most responsible ones like Karadzic. The duty of the authorities of Republika Srpska is to extradite Karadzic to the Tribunal unconditionally," federal President Karlo Filipovic told the Dnevni
