THE genocide trial of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic resumed yesterday after a two-month break as the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal prepared for the arrival of his wartime military chief, General Ratko Mladic.
Karadzic made no mention of Mladic during his trial yesterday morning. The two worked hand in glove for much of the war, though their relationship reportedly soured late in the conflict.
Karadzic and Mladic were indicted together in 1995 as the chief architects of Serb atrocities throughout the 1992-95 Bosnian War. They both went on the run after their indictments. Karadzic was arrested on a Belgrade bus in 2008 and Mladic evaded attempts to arrest him for another three years until he was detained on Thursday last week.
Both face charges of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for allegedly masterminding the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Muslims, the siege of Sarajevo and brutal ethnic cleansing purges early in the war that left some 100,000 dead and forced 1.8 million from their homes. They face maximum sentences of life imprisonment if convicted. Prosecutor Serge Brammertz has said that ideally he would like to try the two men together
