Remember the attempt by Serbia to get former Bosnian leader Ejup Ganic extradited from London to Belgrade on war crimes charges dating back to the early days of the conflict in Bosnia?

After a flurry of media interest when Ganic was first arrested, it all went quiet after BH Presidency member Haris Silajdzic visited the UK in March, no doubt because he was given a firm private steer by the FCO that once the application was lodged the law must take its course, and that banging on about it being a ‘British politically motivated process’ would be stupid.

Anyway, the main hearings have started today. Mr Ganic has been living quietly here on bail in the meantime.

The Belgrade authorities are piously insisting that they are playing this one strictly by the letter of the law, leaving it to the courts in London to decide what should be done. The Bosnian/Bosniac leadership are insisting that the courts will decide in favour of rejecting the application.

Should be interesting.
