PALE, Bosnia, Nov 23 (Reuters) - European Union peacekeepers on Friday raided the homes of relatives and suspected supporters of Bosnian Serb wartime leader Radovan Karadzic, a genocide suspect on the run from the U.N. war crimes court.

Security forces surrounded the house where Karadzic's wife Ljiljana Zelen-Karadzic lives in his wartime stronghold of Pale, some 16 km (1O miles) southeast of the capital Sarajevo.

The EUFOR peacekeeping force, NATO and local police also searched the homes of Karadzic's daughter Sonja Jovicevic and son Aleksandar in the centre of the town.

The houses have been raided dozens of times in the 12 years that Karadzic, charged with genocide by the UN war crimes tribunal, has been on the run.

Around noon, additional troops arrived to search an office belonging to Jovicevic's husband Branislav and home of Karadzic's former driver Ranko Cicovic in Pale. Some material and documents have been seized for further analysis, EUFOR said.

They are believed to be associated with a support network for Karadzic. A similar operation was carried out in Pale on Monday with a raid on the home of Dragan Sojic, another suspected supporter.

The U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague has indicted Karadzic and his military leader Ratko Mladic for genocide in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslims and the 43-month siege of Sarajevo in which 11,000 people died.

The court says Mladic is hiding in Serbia. Karadzic is believed to be moving between eastern Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro. (Reporting by Zeljko Debelnogic, writing by Daria Sito-Sucic; editing by Ellie Tzortzi and Elisabeth O'Leary)
