Karadzic court case due to resume

The genocide and war crimes trial of former Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic is due to resume in The Hague, a day after it was adjourned. But a legal adviser for Karadzic told the BBC he would again refuse to attend, as he still needed at least nine months to prepare his defense. Karadzic denies all charges relating to the Bosnian war of the 1990s. Separately, former Bosnian Serb President Biljana Plavsic - convicted of war crimes - has been released. Plavsic was the highest ranking official from the former Yugoslavia to have pleaded guilty for her part in the Bosnian War. She was sentenced in 2003 to 11 years in a Swedish jail.
