SRS party

Radeta said that they were both protected by the Constitution of Serbia and the final decision of the Higher Court in Belgrade, which states that there was no legal basis for their extradition.

This was stated on Wednesday by Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic.

"I must present my personal belief that I really could not believe it," Stefanovic said in the Serbian National Assembly, in reply to a question posed by opposition SRS party member of the Assembly (people's deputy) Vjerica Radeta.

Serbian National Assembly President Maja Gojkovic said this on Tuesday, responding to opposition SRS party leader and assembly member Vojislav Seselj, who said chair of the Kosovo Assembly's Committee on Foreign Affairs Vjosu Osmani-Sadriu had been invited to a gathering in Belgrade.

Plenkovic was the first too make his statement - commenting on an earlier interview given by Dacic, when he said that if Croatia wanted a diplomatic war, it would have it. The head of Croatia's government then said it was "not good to use the word war in any way" and that this was "the kind of rhetoric that should not be used."

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 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.

Seselj has been found guilty and sentenced to ten years - however, considering that he spent 11.5 years detained by the Hague Tribunal, he will not go to jail.

Vojislav Seselj, the leader of the SRS party, surrendered to MITC's predecessor ICTY (Hague Tribunal) 15 years ago, and then spent 11 years in custody before he was temporarily released for health reasons.

The trial chamber of the Hague Tribinal (ICTY) in March 2016 acquitted the leader of the SRS party on all counts of the indictment, which accused him of war crimes committed against non-Serbs in Croatia, Vojvodina, and Bosnia-Herzegovina - Beta reported on Tuesday.

EU Commissioner Johannes Hahn has urged Serbia during his visit here last week to extradite Vjerica Radeta and Petar Jojic to the Hague Tribunal (ICTY).

Along with Jovan "Jovo" Ostojic - who recently passed away - the two are members of the opposition SRS party, led by Vojislav Seselj, whom the tribunal has charged with contempt of court.
