Former Bosnian Serb Military Commander; Ratko Mladic has appealed for his Yugoslav war crime trial to be delayed for six months.
The 70 year old claimed that the delays by the prosecutors in disclosing evidence can lead to the miscarriage of justice as the motion was filed by Ratko’s lawyers.
He is the last major player from the Bosnian conflict to go on trial at the UN court.
This move is seen as another ploy by Ratko to delay his trial as he requested last week the presiding judge who is a duthman be replaced and on that ground requested for postponement.
His trial will begin on Wednesday as he faces 11 charges alleging that he orchestrated atrocities by Serb fighters in the Bosnian War which lasted from 1992-95.
Mladic has refused to enter pleas but denies wrongdoing. He was arrested last year in Serbia after 15 years as a fugitive.
