The trial against Radovan Karadzic will be suspended for six weeks from 3rd March, judges at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) ruled last week. The former Bosnian Serb leader initially asked for a three-month break to review some 32,000 pages, which prosecutors in The Hague disclosed to him at the end of January.

Presiding judge O-Gon Kwon noted that an adjournment was an “exceptional measure” but said that Karadzic would need time to review the material and to determine how it would be used in the trial. He said Karadzic “could not be expected to complete this task while the trial is ongoing.”
