Hague to announce verdict in Karadzic trial on March 24

After the proclamation of an independent Republic of the Serb People in Bosnia-Herzegovina on January 9, 1992 - which was later renamed the Serb Republic (Republika Srpska, RS) - Karadzic became its first president.

In April in 1992 Karadzic arrived to the town of Pale, while the RS government began work on May 7, 1992, a month before the first clashes, implementing its decision to set up its own armed forces by taking over Serbian military personnel from the Yugoslav army (JNA) in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

For the entire duration of the war in Bosnia the leader of the Bosnian Serbs, together with the war commander, Ratko Mladic, was the creator of war operations.

The Hague Tribunal raised the first indictment against both on July 25, 1995 that had 16 counts, one of which accused them of genocide and three others of crimes against humanity.

The second indictment, which referred to the crimes in Srebrenica, was raised on November 16, 1995 and had 20 counts, one charging them with genocide and nine others for crimes against humanity.

Earlier this month, the Hague Tribunal announced it would deliver its ruling in the trial of Vojislav Seselj on March 31.
