Mladics Defence attorney Branko Lukic informed the judges that the indictee had stomach flu.
According to Lukic, after having spent the whole day yesterday at Bronovo hospital, Mladic was returned to the hospital in the Detention Unit in Scheveningen last night. A decision concerning his further medical treatment should be rendered today.
Presiding judge Alphons Orie said that Mladic had not given up his right to attend the trial and that, therefore, the trial could not be continued in his absence.
Mladic, former Commander of the Republika Srpska Army, is charged with genocide in Srebrenica, persecution of Muslims and Croats throughout BiH, which reached the scale of genocide in seven municipalities, terror against the local population in Sarajevo and taking UNPROFOR members hostage.
The trial of Mladic began in May 2012. The presentation of the Defences evidence is currently underway.
