The war crimes trial of former Bosnian Serb military commander Ratko Mladic, accused of genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, will begin on May 14, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) said on Wednesday.
Mladic is accused of genocide in Srebrenica, terrorising the residents of Sarajevo, persecuting civilians throughout Bosnia, and taking UN members hostage.
He was arrested in Serbia last May after nearly 16 years of hiding and was immediately transferred to The Hague.
The trial was supposed to start on March 27 but the Trial Chamber decided to give both parties more time to prepare.
The next status conference in the case is set for March 29.
