The prosecutors for the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) have proposed the reduction of the number of evidence they are going to present at the trial of Ratko Mladic in order to expedite the proceedings against this wartime Bosnian Serb military leader before the UN war crimes tribunal.

The ICTY prosecution has sent a motion to the trial chamber, suggesting that all 11 counts in the indictment, including two counts of genocide, will remain in the document, but they will choose evidence that relate to the totality of crimes and their gravity, the ICTY reported on Friday.

Mladic is indicted for genocide and other war crimes his troops committed in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995.

He was arrested in Serbia this May after being on the run for years.
