Following a break due to the New Years holidays, the trial of former Republika Srpska President Radovan Karadzic before The Hague Tribunal is due to continue on Tuesday, when new Defence witnesses will testify.
Former Bosnian Serb political leader Radovan Karadzic said that his wartime military commander Ratko Mladic will start testifying at his Hague Tribunal trial on January 28.
Almost all the Hague Tribunals prosecution evidence against Ratko Mladic has now been heard, with witnesses testifying that the former Bosnian Serb military chief must have known about war crimes.
Bosnian Serb war crimes suspects received 640,000 euro of state money, plus more cash from private funds, while Bosniaks and Bosnian Croats got nothing.
Former Yugoslav countries have spent almost 40 million euro of public money supporting war crimes suspects on trial at the Hague Tribunal, a BIRN investigation has revealed.
With the all-important 1992-5 war glaringly absent from the textbooks in Bosnias schools, pupils and teachers have to fill in the knowledge gap on their own.
The Prosecution of the International Court at The Hague completes the examination of its witnesses at the trial of Ratko Mladic, former Commander of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS.
The Hague Tribunal accepts Radovan Karadzics request to deliver a warrant to Ratko Mladic, obliging him to testify in his defence in January next year.
The Defence of Ratko Mladic denies findings by the Prosecutions military expert Reynaud Theunens, who said that, in his capacity as Commander of the Republika Srpska Army, VRS, the indictee did not initiate any investigations into war crimes.
A former Bosnian Serb Army intelligence chief told the genocide trial of Srebrenica massacre suspect Aleksandar Cvetkovic that he had heard that the defendants squad participated in the killings.
