Serb ultranationalists plan pro-Karadzic rally - by Dusan Stojanovic

Ultranationalists are planning a huge anti-government rally in Serbia's capital Tuesday evening, and Radovan Karadzic's lawyer predicted the government will try to whisk the arrested war crimes suspect off to the U.N. tribunal before the protest. Belgrade was rife with fears there could be clashes in the streets Tuesday evening as the ultranationalists plan to prevent the extradition of the ex-Bosnian Serb leader to the U.N. tribunal at The Hague, Netherlands. The rally organizers — the right-wing Serbian Radical Party — are busing Karadzic's supporters in from all over Serbia and Bosnia where Karadzic is revered by many as a wartime hero who helped create the Bosnian Serb mini-state after the bloody 1992-95 war.
