Radovan Karadzic appears before the Hague Tribunal today.

Kurir (a Belgrade newspaper with pronounced populist tendencies) quotes his lawyer as saying that Karadzic will not accept the start of ICTY proceedings until his laptop and 50 disks are returned to him. These items containing all the elements of his defence and evidence of his innocence of all charges were (says his lawyer) seized by the Serbian internal security police when they arrested him and he was not given the proper receipt.

50 disks of poetry and psychic healing remedies to plough through.

Should not take the Serb authorities and MI6/CIA too long?
