BELGRADE, Serbia — Tension was mounting here Monday on the eve of a rally called by an ultranationalist party that some feared could turn violent over the likely extradition of Radovan Karadzic, the former Bosnian Serb leader arrested last week on war-crimes charges.

The fears have been fanned in recent days by death threats against Serbia’s pro-Western president, Boris Tadic, and attacks on journalists by far-right nationalists.

Today’s rally is being organized by the Radical Party, which has glorified Karadzic as a hero and opposes extraditing him to the U.N. tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands.
