The Hague Tribunal trial of former state security chief Jovica Stanisic has once again been adjourned owing to his poor health. According to the court, the trial has been adjourned because Stanisic is still “very weak after suffering serious digestive problems and a significant loss of blood.” Ex-state security chief’s trial adjourned again Judge Patrick Robinson (presiding) decided to adjourn the trial until Tuesday, after receiving a report from the medical team stating that Stanisic was still “very weak” after an attack of ulcer colitis and diarrhea. The doctors stated that Stanisic was going to the bathroom with increasing frequency and was losing blood, causing him “immense stress, weakness and a social handicap.” According to his specialists, Stanisic changed his therapy yesterday and swift results are expected. The doctors also noticed a “small” amount of progress in Stanisic’s treatment for deep depression, adding that if his psychological condition continued to improve “he might be able to issue instructions to his defense counsel in the coming weeks.” Stanisic is unable to follow the trial in court or via video link from his cell, according to doctors. Robinson said that he hoped that Stanisic would be able to communicate with his defense team soon, but that if he was not able to do so, the trial chamber would have to take other measures to allow the trial to continue, given that the other indictee in the case, Stanisic’s former deputy Franko Simatovic, was entitled to a lawful and speedy trial. One possible measure could be to separate the two trials. Stanisic and Simatovic were indicted on charges of war crimes against non-Serbs in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina between 1991 and 1995.
