Ratko Mladich was hospitalized from the courtroom

Former army commander of the Bosnian Serbs Ratko Mladich, whom the international tribunal accuses of the Bosnian Muslim genocide, felt ailment during a court meeting on July 12 and was hospitalized , Reuters reports.

“Mladich complained about the health during the consideration of the case, so he was sent to the hospital for the examination, and the meeting itself was interrupted,” said the representative of the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia Nerma Jelacic.

Recall that Ratko Mladich was detained last year in Serbia after he was on the run for 15 years. Even then, the health status of the 70-year-old ex-commander was quite difficult. The prosecution and relatives of the victims are afraid that he may not survive until the end of the trial, as happened in the case of the former leader of Yugoslavia Slobodan Milosevich .

In relation to Mladic, 11 accusations were brought forward, including in crimes against humanity and genocide. The investigation claims that he was involved in the events of Srebrenitsa, where about 8 thousand Muslims were killed during the Bosnian war.
