Berlin : German Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jens Ploetner on Wednesday expressed hope that the UN war crimes tribunal in the Hague could soon start the trial of top Bosnian Serb war crimes suspect Radovan Karadzic.
“We hope that such process could begin as soon as possible,” Ploetner said in remarks to media representatives in Berlin.
The 63-year-old Karadzic was transferred early Wednesday morning to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague from Belgrade where he was arrested on July 21.
Ploetner stressed the trial of Karadzic could be an “important step” in the quest of all victims of the Bosnian war criminal to see justice served.
Karadzic is charged by the ICTY with genocide and crimes against humanity during the 1992-95 Bosnia war.
