Radovan Karadzic asked the UN court to reject a prosecution appeal to increase his sentence to life imprisonment and find him guilty of genocide in seven more Bosnian municipalities in 1992.

A medical report rejected former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic’s claims that there were abnormally high levels of cancer among war crimes defendants held at the UN court’s detention centre.

Jovan Tintor, a wartime politician and former adviser to Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, went on trial for crimes against humanity against Bosniaks and Croats in the Vogosca area in 1992.

Former Bosnian Serb President Radovan Karadzic has angered Srebrenica survivors by describing the 1995 massacres as "a horrible war crime against prisoners of war, not civilians" in an interview published on Banja Luka-based television station RTRS's website on Thursday evening.

Prosecutors at Ratko Mladic’s trial rejected the defence’s closing arguments, insisting that the evidence proves that the former Bosnian Serb military commander is guilty of genocide and other wartime crimes.

Ratko Mladic's defense lawyers on Tuesday demanded that the former military leader of Serbs in Bosnia be acquitted by the Hague Tribunal.

Mladic has been charged with war crimes and genocide committed during the 1992-95 Bosnian war.

On the final day of closing arguments at Ratko Mladic’s trial in The Hague, defence lawyers urged the UN court to acquit the former Bosnian Serb Army commander of war crimes and genocide.

THE HAGUE - The prosecutors of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia on Wednesday requested life imprisonment for Ratko Mladic, who is charged with war crimes, including a 1995 genocide of thousands of Muslims in Srebrenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Ratko Mladic's defense said in its closing arguments before the Hague Tribunal that it managed to demonstrate Mladic is not guilty of genocide and other crimes.
