Mladic asks for delay of his trial

The defence of Ratko Mladic requested the start of his trial to be delayed until the prosecution reveals all of its evidence.

Branko Lukic, Mladic’s lawyer, said that by being late with submitting its evidence to the defence, the prosecution violated an “essential element of fair trial.”

“The disclosure of evidence enables us to prepare for the case. We do not have the materials and we demand that the trial does not start and that the prosecution calls no witnesses until it submits all of its evidence. We think it is in accordance with the practice of the court,” Lukic said.
