Belgrade, Serbia-Montenegro, Nov 22, SPA -- A top-level BosnianSerb delegation arrives in Belgrade on Monday to seekextradition of nearly a dozen Bosnian Serb war crimessuspects sought by the U.N. tribunal and believed to behiding in Serbia. Bosnian Serb president Dragan Cavic, Prime Minister DraganMikerevic and other top officials are scheduled to meetwith Serbia's pro-Western president Boris Tadic. It was notimmediately clear whether Serbia's conservative PrimeMinister Vojislav Kostunica would attend the meeting. Kostunica has been reluctant to arrest and hand over some15 war crimes suspects _ including several Bosnian Serbs _to the tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands. Ignoringmounting international pressure, Kostunica has said thatthe arrests would destabilize Serbia. Both Belgrade and the Bosnian Serbs, who are in control ofroughly one half of Bosnia following the 1992-95 war, facepossible isolation if they don't hand over the suspects.--SPA1248 Local Time 0948 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/218770
