Former Bosnian President Ejup Ganic, who was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport over war crimes allegations, has been given bail by the High Court.
Ganic was detained on 1 March at the request of Serbia and is accused of killing wounded Bosnian Serb soldiers in 1992 during the Balkan wars.
His lawyers say moves to make him face trial in Serbia are politically motivated and his arrest is illegal, the BBC reported.
Lord Justice Laws granted the 64-year-old bail on "stringent" conditions.
Ganic, a friend of Baroness Thatcher, was a wartime leader who briefly acted as president.
He was indicted last year by a Belgrade court, along with 18 others, over an incident in which 42 soldiers from the Yugoslav army were said to have been killed.
