Amsterdam - Dutch daily newspaper Algemeen Dagblad on Thursday published the first photo of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic since he has been shaven and had a haircut.

The paper, which published the photo on its front page, said the picture was taken on Monday while Karadzic was still in his cell in Belgrade.

War crimes suspect Karadzic was arrested by the Serbian authorities in Belgrade on July 21. On the run for almost 13 years, he had long hair and a beard when captured.

The picture also appeared in other outlets including Serbian newspaper Blic and British tabloid The Sun.

Belgrade  - Serbia's ultranationalist opposition party on Wednesday accused President Boris Tadic and "his regime" of provoking clashes that broke out during a protest over the arrest of war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic.

The Radical Party's claim was in line with a stream of anti-government rhetoric at Tuesday's rally in Belgrade, which the party organized. Hours later, Serbia extradited Karadzic to the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.

The Hague - Se

Belgrade  - Serbia's government Tuesday sought buyers for its ailing JAT airline, saddled debt and aging planes.

JAT's debt totalled 247 million euros (388 million dollars) and its assets 162 million euros at the end of 2007, the Serbian privatization agency said in its notice in the Politika daily, which called for tenders within two days.

Serbia is lowering its price for JAT from a hoped-for 150 million euros for a 51-per-cent stake, Economy Minister Mladjan Dinkic said last week. The state may sell up to 75 per cent of the airline if the offer is right, he said.

Serb media have cited Russia's Aeroflot, Icelandair and Air India as possible buyers for the 81-year-old airline, which has nine Boeing 737s and three ATR turboprops.

London, July 26: War criminal Radovan Karadzic, the wartime leader of the Bosnian Serbs, was so successful as a “miracle” healer that he travelled across Europe to treat wealthy Serbs.

The bearded fugitive, 63, is said to have made so much money curing a variety of ailments that he was about to start a new life in Russia.

Mina Minic, his tutor in Serbian capital Belgrade, said: “He learned quickly and soon became a name in his own right. He was preparing to move to Russia but decided to stay to learn more from me. It seems he left it too long.”

Belgrade - Most Serbs believe the war crimes tribunal for ex-Yugoslavia is biased against Serbs and fewer than half want Serbia to hand over suspects, a poll showed Friday.

Former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, poised for extradition after his arrest Monday in Belgrade, is a hero for a third of Serbs, the survey by Strategic Marketing pollsters found.

Only 17 per cent see him as a villain and 42 per cent are undecided, the poll of 1,000 people found.

Fifty-four per cent of Serbs do not support extraditions of war crimes suspects and 86 per cent believe the Hague tribunal is anti-Serb, the poll said.
