THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Latest on the verdict in the case of Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic (all times local):

7:30 p.m.

Several thousand Serbian ultranationalists have protested the 40-year prison sentence handed to the wartime Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic by a U.N. war crimes court.

Carrying posters of Karadzic and other accused Serbian war criminals, far-right supporters in the Serbian capital of Belgrade said Thursday that Karadzic was convicted only because he was a Serb.

Nationalist leader Vojislav Seselj, who himself is awaiting a war crimes verdict next week, says Karadzic “was convicted innocent, without guilt.” He adds “the verdict against Karadzic is a verdict against the entire Serb people, the entire Serbian nation.”

The court in The Hague, Netherlands, has tried Seselj for recruiting paramilitary units that committed atrocities during the 1991-95 wars in Croatia and Bosnia.
