Bosnian Serb wartime general Ratko Mladic is fit to be transferred to the UN International Court for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague and has until Monday to appeal, a judge at a special Serbian war crimes court said on Friday.
"Mladic's lawyer was delivered the [transfer] papers and he has until Monday to appeal," judge Maja Kovacevic said.
He said Mladic had been examined by a medical commission "which has determined he is fit for further proceedings".
Mladic, accused of orchestrating the 43-month siege of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo and the massacre of 8,000 Muslims from the town of Srebrenica in July 1995, was found on Thursday in a farmhouse owned by a cousin about 100 km (60 miles) from Belgrade.
