Mladic passed fit to face war crimes trial
The ruling came amid pleas from Mladic’s family that he was too ill to be transferred to the UN court in The Hague and that he was not guilty of organising the massacre of 8,000 Muslim men and boys in the town of Srebrenica — the worst single atrocity in Europe since World War II — and the 43-month siege of Sarajevo.
Outside Serbia’s special war crimes court, Judge Maja Kovacevic said: “It has been established that Ratko Mladic’s health condition makes him fit to stand trial... We have decided the conditions for transfer have been met.
