Judge Ian Bonomy will preside over the pre-trial.
The trial will be moved to Trial III of which judge Patrick Robinson is in charge. Judge Michale Picard will also sit in the presiding trial.
An official decision was taken on August 22 for the changes after Tribunal president Fausto Pocar decided to reassigned the case from Chamber I to Chamber III.
Judge Robinson, from Jamaica, is presiding in the chamber at the trial of ex-chief of security Jovica Stanisic and Franki Simatovic, although this is now taking a break due to Stanisic’s bad health. He is also presiding in the case of Milan and Sredoje Lukic, that is set to start soon. Both of them are indicted for crimes in Visegrad.
The same judge presided in the trial of Dragomir Milosevic, the ex-commander of the Sarajevo Romanija Corps, who was sentenced to 33 years for the siege of Sarajevo.
Radovan Karadzic was arrested after 12 years of hiding in July 21 in Belgrade. The first time he appeared in the front of the Tribunal was ten days after his arrest when he refused to enter a plea.
His next appearance will be on August 29.
