That's actually pretty impressive. The Serbs are an incredibly tight knit group when it comes to one of their own. I'm also pretty amazed that he'll actually be extradited, because the Serbs often refuse to do such things.

I suppose the majority of my feelings come from the following stories.

I know a bar fight isn't nearly the same thing, but to go to the length that these people have just to get him back in their own country is a little ridiculous. Either way, the strange thing is that I know that kid, and met the victim once, so I've been following it. You wouldn't believe how many Serbs (Serbian nationals, not second or third generation Americans of Serbian descent) think that Minja (the attacker) was in the right.


Case in point, I'm surprised that they found Karadzic, but I think that the facts that he was hiding in plain sight and the government is trying to move to a more Euro-centric mindset, and ultimately the EU, helped his capture. Let's face it: if your government was new and wanted to push it's world-standing in the right direction after years of looking terrible, it would bring about an offering of some sort to show its own credibility/ commitment.

And maybe I'm just a cynic.
