However he has boycotted the trial as he was not given proper time for it according to him. He has been in custody and working on his defense since his arrest on a Belgrade bus in July 2008. Judges have now scheduled his trial on Tuesday
The decision enraged survivors who had traveled by bus from Bosnia to see Karadzic finally face justice. A small group briefly refused to leave the courtroom after the adjournment and one woman threatened a hunger strike.
"We are going there (The Hague) to show to Europe and the world that we are still here, still searching for the truth and still waiting for justice," Munira Subasic, head of an association gathering the 1995 Srebrenica massacre survivors that organised the trip, told FENA before his trial on Monday which was postponed.
Sarajevo (AFP) quoted Subasic, who is still searching for the remains of her son and husband as
"Karadzic's trial should by conducted in line with rules and justice to avoid what had happened with (former Serbian president Slobodan) Milosevic," Milosevic died in his prison cell during his genocide trial in 2006.
"When he died, justice died as well," Subasic further added.
Karadzic faces life imprisonment on 11 counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity for his actions as Bosnian Serb president during Bosnia's inter-ethnic war that claimed an estimated 100,000 lives. Karadzic is also charged notably for the July 1995 massacre of around 8,000 Muslim men and boys at Srebrenica
