Sarajevo - International administrator in Bosnia Miroslav Lajcak said he may consider returning travel documents to the Karadzic family once he is sure this would not contribute to the support network for suspected war criminals still at large, Bosnian media reported Friday.

After the top Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic was arrested late Monday in Belgrade, his wife and daughter called on the international community's high representative in Bosnia to give them back their travel documents so they can visit Karadzic while he is still in Belgrade.

In January Lajcak ordered the confiscation of the documents under the suspicion that the family were involved in the support network for war crimes suspects still at large.

Sarajevo - Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader indicted for war crimes, may lose his property in order to compensate the victims of his alleged crimes, Bosnian media reported Friday quoting a US official in Bosnia.

Sarajevo daily Dnevni avaz reported that Karadzic owes some 4.5 billion US dollars to a group of people who sued him before a US court for "organizing detention facilities where non-Serb women were systematically raped."

Belgrade - High ranking Serbian officials have received death threats over the arrest of war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, prompting the security services to raise the level of alert to its highest, Belgrade daily Blic reported Friday.

Serbia's pro-European President Boris Tadic, his partner in government and the leader of Slobodan Milosevic's Socialists, Ivica Dacic, war crimes prosecutor Vladimir Vukcevic and the head of the national council for cooperation with the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Rasim Ljajic, all received death threats after Karadzic's arrest.

Belgrade- The Serbian government decided Thursday to return its envoys pulled out of European Union capitals that recognized Kosovo's independence.

Serbia's ruling coalition of pro-European parties and Socialists welcomed the decision, but the nationalist opposition said it amounted to "a capitulation" by Serbia.

Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic recommended the move as an effort to "enhance the diplomatic capacities of Serbia".

Belgrade - Serbia's intelligence service protected war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic, whose capture after 12 years on the run was welcomed across Europe, local media reported Wednesday.

"The secret service protected him, the secret service has now handed him over," Interior Minister Ivica Dacic was quoted as saying by Belgrade dailies.

The reports said the police were not involved in Karadzic, who was picked up on a bus in the Serbian capital on Monday evening and is now awaiting extradition to the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague.

Dacic, head of the Socialist SPS party, had opposed arresting Serbia's most wanted man and would only agree to taking action if he volunteered to give himself up, the reports said.

Sofia - The arrest of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karazic is "a relief for Europe," the head of Bulgaria's parliamentary foreign affairs committee said Tuesday.

The move would also accelerate the integration of Serbia, Bosnia- Herzegovina and Montenegro into European structures, Solomon Passi told the Bulgarian news agency BETA.

"Serbia and Bosnia have been resurrected for a new life in Europe, said Passi, a former foreign minister, adding that the arrest would "help overcome the legacy of the past" on the Balkans.
