PALE, Bosnia-Herzegovina-Radovan Karadzic's daughter said Wednesday she is grateful for the financial help offered to her family by the Bosnian Serb government and hopes it will allow them to stabilize their lives after a very difficult decade.

Bosnian Serb Prime Minister Milorad Dodik promised Tuesday evening to assist the family of the newly captured war crimes fugitive.

"I am grateful to Mr. Dodik for understanding our situation and I hope he will really help us to normalize our lives and solve the enormous problems we have," Sonja Karadzic said Wednesday.

Previously the government could not help the family because that would have been seen as aiding the support network of a war crimes fugitive.

Sonja Karadzic also repeated appeals to international officials in Bosnia to lift travel restrictions against the family so they can go to Belgrade to visit Karadzic before his transfer to the U.N. war crimes court in The Hague, Netherlands.

His family is banned from leaving Bosnia over suspicions they helped him elude capture for years.

She again appealed upon Bosnia's international administrator, Slovak diplomat Miroslav Lajcak, as well as the office of the U.N. war crimes tribunal in Sarajevo, to allow the family to travel.

"These gentlemen know about our situation and I appeal upon them to allow us this visit," she said. "After 10 years of hell, I do not how anybody can benefit from additionally mistreating us."

Lajcak imposed the ban following a request from the U.N. tribunal and ordered local police to confiscate the travel documents of wife Ljiljana Zelen-Karadzic, son Aleksandar, daughter Sonja and son-in-law Branislav Jovicic.

Lajcak's spokeswoman, Ljiljana Radetic, said talks on the subject were still under way Wednesday.

Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader during the country's 1992-95 war, was arrested Monday outside the Serbian capital after 13 years at large. During this period, his family in Pale was frequently detained and questioned by international peacekeepers and local police. Their properties were raided many times, often in the middle of the night, by troops looking for any evidence of contact with Karadzic.

A Serbian judge has ordered his extradition to a U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, to face genocide charges. Karadzic has three days to appeal.
