The lawyer of ex-Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic says his client wants to conduct his own defence at his war crimes trial in The Hague.
He said Karadzic, who was arrested in Serbia on Monday, would however have a legal team in Serbia to support him. Karadzic is twice indicted for genocide for the massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica in 1995 and the 43-month siege of Sarajevo, during which some 11,000 people died. He spent 12 years on the run, posing as a doctor of alternative medicine in Belgrade. European Union Serb forces arrest Karadzic ...
