Serbia's Republic Election Commission (RIK) on Thursday accepted the "Dr. Vojislav Seselj - Serb Radical Party" electoral list for the April 24 election.

This means that the party will be listed fourth in the ballot paper.

War crimes defendant Vojislav Seselj burned the EU and NATO flags in front of Belgrade’s Special Court in protest after a hearing about his extradition to The Hague was postponed.

Serbian Justice Minister Nikola Selakovic said on Wednesday he "does not know whether Vojislav Seselj will be in The Hague on March 31."

The Hague Tribunal has scheduled the reading of the verdict for that day in the Seselj war crimes trial.

Montenegro has extradited Serbian General Borislav Djukic to Croatia to face charges of crimes against humanity over his alleged responsibility for blowing up a dam during the 1991-95 war.

Representatives of the SRS party on Tuesday submitted their list of national assembly candidates in the April 24 early election.

The name of the list, supported by more than 13,000 signatures, is "Dr. Vojislav Seselj - the Serb Radical Party."

Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj, whose war crimes verdict is due on March 31, again vowed to resist any attempt to send him back to the UN court in The Hague.

Vojislav Seselj has said that proceedings for his extradition to the Hague Tribunal have begun.

Addressing a news conference in the Serbian capital on Thursday, he said he would respond to the summons of "the War Crimes Court in Belgrade."

The presidency of the Serb People's Party (SNP) has decided to join the Serb Progressive Party (SNS) on their list for early parliamentary elections.

The party said that it wants to, in the wake of the voting and through Serbia's system institutions, contribute to the development of best political, economic, military, and all other relations with Russia.

Belgrade promised the UN war crimes court in The Hague to cooperate over the case of three Serbian Radical Party members accused of threatening witnesses at their leader Vojislav Seselj’s trial.

Serbia will ask the Hague Tribunal (ICTY) to postpone until after early elections - that are yet to be called - the verdict in the trial of Vojislav Seselj.

This is according to Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti.
