Amsterdam - Former Bosnian-Serb president Radovan Karadzic declined Tuesday to enter a plea at the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in The Hague. Karadzic was asked to enter his plea in response to the 11 counts in the revised indictment filed against him. Presiding judge Iain Bonomy ordered that the court record Karadzic pleaded 'not guilty'. Karadzic and his military chief Ratko Mladic - who remains at large - are held responsible for crimes including the slaughter of 8,000 Muslims at Srebrenica in the summer of 1995 and the shelling of Sarajevo during the war that started in 1992. Karadzic was arrested in Belgrade last July after 13 years on the run and was swiftly extradited to The Hague, where he faces charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Karadzic has appeared before the court in pre-trial hearings. The trial proper is expected to start in several more months.
