"The only thing we can say is that the president of Mechanism has no comment on the inquiry you sent," the press service of Mechanism stated, Nezavisne Novine is reporting.
Radovan Karadzic was sentenced to life in prison by the Hague Tribunal for war crimes in BiH, and was in 2021 transferred to serve his sentence in a British prison on the Isle of Wight.
Goran Petronijevic, a member of Karadzic's legal team, said earlier that due to confidentiality, he could not talk about Karadzic's possible conditional release because of the death of his wife, noting that the procedure is very complicated.
Ljiljana Zelen-Karadzic died on Wednesday in East Sarajevo at the age of 81. She will be laid to rest on Friday in Pale.
