The trial of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic has begun at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Hague.
Karadzic said he did not recognise the legitimacy of the court and refused to enter pleas on any of the 11 charges against him. The court entered not guilty pleas on all counts on his behalf. The indictment includes genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, relating among other things to the murder of thousands of civilians in Srebrenica in 1995 by Bosnian Serb forces. A next session was set for September 17.
