Authorities appeared set to delay the process by allowing a Federal appeals court - whose judges had been Milosevic appointees, and had voted to annul last year's election result precipitating the insurrection that drove him from office - to challenge the validity of last weekend's government decree facilitating the strongman's extradition.
